Relative fat mass is a better predictor of dyslipidemia and metabolic syndrome than body mass index.
Article in Cardiovascular endocrinology & metabolism, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 38 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
Relative fat mass (RFM) had been recently developed. We aimed to examine RFM predictability to various cardiometabolic risk factors, compared to BMI.
methodsObservational, cohort study, among patients who visited the Rambam Periodic Examinations Institute (RPEI). We compared the correlation of BMI and RFM to hypertension, impaired fasting glucose, high LDL, low HDL and metabolic syndrome, by gender.
resultsDuring study years, 20 167 patients visited the RPEI and included in the trial. Compared to BMI, RFM showed significantly better predictability (odds ratio [OR], [95% confidence interval (CI),
conclusionRFM provides high predictability for dyslipidemias and metabolic syndrome.
