Body fat percentage, obesity, and their relation to the incidental risk of hypertension.
Article in Journal of clinical hypertension (Greenwich, Conn.), 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 26 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
Studies have indicated that increased body fat is associated with cardiovascular risk factors including hypertension. However, there is only limited information about the influence of body fat percentage (BF%) on incident hypertension. In a cohort of Korean genome epidemiology study (KoGES), 4864 non-hypertensive participants were divided into 5 quintile groups, and followed-up for 10 years to monitor incident hypertension. Cox proportional hazard model was used to evaluate the hazard ratio (HRs) and 95% confidence interval (CI) for hypertension (adjusted HRs [95% CI]) according to BF% quintile groups. Subgroup analysis was conducted by low or high level of BF% (cutoff: 22.5% in men and 32.5% in women) and low or high level of body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC) and waist-to-hip ratio (WHR). In adjusted model, compared with BF% quintile 1, the risk of incident hypertension significantly increased over BF% quintile 3 (BF% ≥19.9%) in men (quintile 3:1.42 [1.10-1.85], quintile 4:1.58 [1.22-2.05], quintile 5:1.82 [1.40-2.36]), and quintile 4 (BF% ≥32.5%) in women (quintile 4:1.48 [1.12-1.94], quintile 5:1.56 [1.20-2.04]). Subgroup analysis showed that individuals with high BF% were significantly associated with the increased risk of hypertension even in individuals with low BMI, WC, and WHR. The risk of hypertension increased proportionally to BF% over the specific level of BF% in Koreans. Even in non-obese individuals, increase in BF% was significantly associated with the increased risk of hypertension.
