Current and Past Obesity in Japanese Patients with Critical Limb Ischemia Undergoing Revascularization.
Article in Journal of atherosclerosis and thrombosis, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
aimRecent studies suggested that past history of obesity or maximum body mass index (BMI) in the past was a strong prognostic predictor in a general population. The current study aimed to survey the distribution of current and maximum BMIs and to investigate their prognostic impact in patients with critical limb ischemia (CLI), whose prognosis was poor even after revascularization.
methodsWe analyzed a database of a prospective, multicenter registry in Japan, including 499 CLI patients undergoing revascularization. Their current and maximum BMIs were surveyed at registration. The distribution and the impact on the prognosis were explored.
resultsThe estimated means (95% confidence intervals) of current and maximum BMIs were respectively 22.0 (21.7 to 22.3) and 25.3 (24.8 to 25.8) kg/m
conclusionThe prevalence of current obesity was as low as 18% (15% to 22%) in Japanese CLI patients undergoing revascularization, whereas about a half were formerly obese. Maximum BMI was not independently associated with the mortality risk in the population.
