Role of tri-ponderal mass index in cardio-metabolic risk assessment in children and adolescents: compared with body mass index.
Article in International journal of obesity (2005), 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveTo investigate the performance of weight/height
methods57,201 Chinese children aged 7-18 and 10,441 American children aged 12-18 with complete record of sex, age, height, weight, and waist circumference were included. Analyses and comparisons of BMI, weight/height
resultsWeight/height CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: Tri-ponderal mass index (TMI) performed superior to BMI z scores and similar to BMI percentiles in Chinese and American participants. TMI is stable in adolescents, and could be a more efficient indicator for screening obesity-related cardio-metabolic risks in routine health screening compared with BMI.
