Association Between Neck Circumference and Microalbuminuria in Community Residents.

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
objectiveNeck circumference (NC) represents the subcutaneous fat deposition in the neck and is an effective indicator for evaluating metabolic disorders, such as metabolic syndrome, subclinical atherosclerosis, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Microalbuminuria (MAU) is regarded as a potential sign of systemic endothelial dysfunction and microvascular abnormalities. The aim of this study was to elucidate the association of NC with urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) and MAU.
methodsA total of 1882 Shanghai community residents were enrolled (816 men and 1066 women), with age ranging from 40 to 80 years. Anthropometric parameters, including NC, and biochemical indices were measured. MAU was determined if 30 mg/g ≤ UACR < 300 mg/g. An elevated NC was defined as NC ≥ 38.5 cm for men and NC ≥ 34.5 cm for women.
resultsIndividuals with an elevated NC had significantly higher prevalence of MAU and UACR values than those with normal NC in both men and women (all
conclusionThere was an independent and positive association between elevated NC and the risk of MAU in men in the Chinese community population. CHINESE CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRY WWWCHICTRORGCN REGISTRATION NUMBER: ChiCTR1900024011.
