The association of anthropometric indices and cardiac function in healthy adults.

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
backgroundObesity is a major risk factor for many diseases including cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Recently, it has been shown that upper body obesity can predict CVDs per se. In this study, we aimed to determine the association between indicators of upper body obesity and echocardiographic indices.
methodsIn this cross-sectional study conducted in Hajar Hospital in Shahrekord, Iran, from March to August 2014, 80 healthy adults were included. Participants' neck circumference (NC), waist circumference (WC), body mass index (BMI), and blood pressure were measured. Echocardiography was performed for all participants, and echocardiographic indices such as early (E') and late (A') diastolic tissue velocity, early (E) and late (A) transmitral flow velocity, E/E' ratio, pulmonary arterial pressure (PAP), and left atrial volume (LAV) were recorded. The association between these indices were investigated using bivariate Pearson correlation coefficient.
resultsFor men, NC had a significant correlation with LAV, systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), PAP, and A', and a negative correlation with E'. WC had a significant correlation with LAV, SBP, and PAP, and a negative correlation with E', while BMI had a significant correlation with LAV, PAP, SBP, A, and A'. For women, NC had a significant positive correlation with LAV, A, ejection fraction (EF), SBP, PAP, and A', and a negative correlation with E' and E/E'. WC had a significant positive correlation with LAV, DBP, PAP, A, A', and a negative correlation with E', while BMI had a significant correlation with LAV, EF, SBP, PAP, E', A, and A'.
conclusionThe positive correlation of NC with SBP, A, and A', as well as NC, WC, and BMI with LAV and PAP in both sexes, and the negative correlation of NC with E' show the importance of these measures in estimation of metabolic and cardiovascular risk factors.
