1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundVisceral obesity and cardiovascular disease are closely related. Research on relevant indexes of cardiovascular disease is particularly important. One of these indexes is lipid accumulation product (LAP). However, the relationship between LAP and the ratio of visceral fat area to subcutaneous fat area (V/S ratio) remains unclear.

methodsIndividuals who visited the university hospital health promotion center and underwent abdominal computed tomography (CT) were included in the study. We analyzed the V/S ratio obtained using CT with cardiovascular factors and indexes. Standardized coefficients were used to obtain uniform units of all independent variables, and the relationship between LAP and V/S ratio was determined using multiple logistic regression analysis.

resultsA positive correlation between the V/S ratio and LAP was observed even after adjustment for age, smoking history, alcohol drinking history, and exercise (

conclusionLAP is closely related to the V/S ratio and can be used to predict the condition of visceral fat tissue.
