The Nonlinear Relationship Between Psoas Cross-sectional Area and BMI: A New Observation and Its Insights Into Diabetes Remission After Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass.
Article in Diabetes care, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
objectiveTo explore the potential relevance of muscle mass as a variable contributor to BMI in limitations on BMI-based predictions of diabetes remission (DR) after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). RESEARCH DESIGN AND
methodsWe evaluated the relationship between muscle mass and BMI in 501 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and overweight or obesity, of whom 186 patients who underwent RYGB were studied for determination of the role of baseline muscle mass and BMI in predicting DR. Muscle mass was assessed by estimated fat-free mass index (eFFMI) and psoas cross-sectional area (CSA).
resultsA nonlinear relationship existed between psoas CSA and BMI, whereas psoas CSA showed a highly positive correlation with eFFMI. Baseline psoas CSA and eFFMI were better than BMI for predicting 1- and 5-year DR.
conclusionsThe nonlinear relationship between muscle mass and BMI may partially contribute to BMI limitations in predicting DR after RYGB.
