Different adiposity indices and their associations with hypertension among Chinese population from Jiangxi province.

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
backgroundTo date, the best adiposity index that predicts or associates strongly with hypertension remains controversial. Therefore, we aimed to compare the performance of different adiposity indices [BMI (body mass index), WC (waist circumference), WHtR (waist-to-height ratio), ABSI (a body shape index), VAI (visceral adipose index), BFP (body fat percentage)] as associates and potential predictors of risk of hypertension among Chinese population.
methodsA cross-sectional survey was conducted in Jiangxi province, China from 2013 to 2014. A total of 14,573 participants were included in the study. The physical measurements included body height, weight, WC, BFP and VAI. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to assess the associations between different adiposity indices and the prevalence of hypertension. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was also performed.
resultsAll adiposity indices were independently and positively associated with the prevalence of hypertension in a dose response fashion. The area under the curves (AUCs) for WHtR, BFP and VAI were significantly larger than those for other adiposity indices in both males and females (all P < 0.01). For males, no statistically significant difference was found in AUCs among WHtR and BFP (0.653 vs. 0.647, P = 0.4774). The AUC of WHtR was significantly higher than VAI (0.653 vs. 0.636, P < 0.01). For females, the AUCs demonstrated that WHtR was significantly more powerful than BFP and VAI (both P < 0.05) for predicting hypertension [WHtR, 0.689 (0.677-0.702); BFP, 0.677 (0.664-0.690); VAI, 0.668 (0.655-0.680)]. Whereas no significant differences were found in AUCs for hypertension among BFP and VAI in both sexes (all P > 0.1). The AUCs for hypertension associated with each adiposity index declined with age in both males and females. For subjects aged < 65 years, WHtR still had the largest AUC. However, for participants aged ≥65 years, BMI had the largest AUC.
conclusionThe findings indicated that WHtR was the best for predicting hypertension, followed by BFP and VAI, especially in younger population.
