Associations between visceral obesity and renal impairment in health checkup participants: a retrospective cohort study.
Article in Clinical and experimental nephrology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
backgroundObesity is a risk factor for chronic kidney disease. Although body mass index (BMI) or waist circumference is indicators of obesity, actual measurements of visceral fat area (VFA) more accurately reflect the amount of visceral fat. We aimed to determine the most sensitive obesity indicator for predicting renal impairment among VFA, BMI, waist circumference, waist-to-height ratio, and visceral-to-subcutaneous fat ratio (VSR).
methodsSubjects who underwent VFA measurements during health checkups in 2012 were included. Obesity was defined using a separate baseline value for each indicator [VFA (100 cm
resultsAnalysis was performed on 2753 subjects (mean age 50.3 years). The VFA ≥ 100 cm
conclusionVFA is suggested to be the most sensitive obesity indicator for decline in kidney function and new-onset proteinuria.
