The Relationship Between BMI, Body Composition, and Fat Mass Distribution in Rou-en-Y Gastric Bypass Patients.
Article in Obesity surgery, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundType 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) with central obesity is a common clinical presentation in Chinese patients. Body mass index (BMI) is a criterion determining central obesity that, when combined with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), accurately reflects body composition and fat mass distribution. The utility of DXA-derived measures in the evaluation of metabolic surgery still needs to be investigated.
methodsIn this cohort study, 78 Chinese patients with central obesity (WC ≥ 90 cm for males, WC ≥ 85 cm for females) or BMI above 27.5 kg/m
resultsA total of 57 of 78 cases (73.1%) were diagnosed with central obesity. There was a significant decrease in BMI, WC, and WHR at each point in time (P < 0.05), with fasting plasma glucose (FPG), fasting insulin secretion (FINS), and the homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR) also significantly improved. Body fat mass percentage (%BF) results showed significant decreases in different regions. %BF regions, except for trunk region %BF, were significantly correlated with BMI and WC (P < 0.01). Pearson correlation coefficients of 0.562 and 0.577 were evident between BMI and total %BF, and android %BF and WC, respectively. Linear regression analysis was conducted to assess the linear relationship between BMI and %BF, and android %BF, WC, and WHR; linear formulas were derived.
conclusions%BF is a more significant predictor of obesity, with BMI significantly underestimating visceral adipose tissue (VAT). In addition to BMI, total %BF and android %BF have clinical utility as indicators for metabolic surgery evaluation as well as patient selection.
