Prevalence and clinical characteristics of metabolically unhealthy obesity in an Iranian adult population.
Article in Diabetes, metabolic syndrome and obesity : targets and therapy, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers.
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
purposeThe incidence of obesity is globally increasing and it is a predisposing factor for morbidity and mortality. This study assessed the prevalence of metabolically unhealthy (MU) individuals and its determinants according to body mass index (BMI). MATERIALS AND
methodIn our cross-sectional study, 891 persons aged 30 years or older participated. Participants were classified as obese (BMI ≥30 kg/m
resultOverall, 10.9% (95% confidence interval (CI): 8.8-13.0) and 7.2% (95% CI: 5.5-8.9) of participants were MU obese and metabolically healthy obese, respectively. The prevalence of MU was higher in overweight (55.6%; 95% CI: 50.6-60.6,
conclusionThe prevalence of a MU state increased with increasing BMI. Ageing and dyslipidaemia were associated with an unhealthy metabolic state in normal weight, overweight and obese subjects and with the female sex in normal weight subjects.
