Comparison of Body Mass Index and Waist Circumference in the Prediction of Diabetes: A Retrospective Longitudinal Study.
Article in Diabetes therapy : research, treatment and education of diabetes and related disorders, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 23 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
introductionBoth body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC) are associated with diabetes risk, and the difference between them in predictive ability for diabetes is still contentious. We conducted a population-based study to investigate and compare the association of them with diabetes by sex.
methodsThis study included a total of 4754 subjects aged 40-80 years with no diabetes at baseline between 2008 and 2017. Using multivariate Cox proportional hazards models, we calculated hazard ratios for diabetes according to tertiles of BMI or WC. Harrell's C statistics was applied to assess and compare the predictive ability of the models using BMI and WC.
resultsBoth BMI and WC showed the significant positive trends with diabetes risk. In men, the extreme tertiles (BMI > 25.1 kg/m
conclusionBoth BMI and WC showed a positive association with diabetes and offered a comparative predictive performance for diabetes in both sexes. The cut-off points, BMI 25.1 kg/m
