Association of Anthropometric Indices With the Development of Diabetes Among Hypertensive Patients in China: A Cohort Study.

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
Background: Patients with comorbidity of hypertension and diabetes are associated with higher morbidity and mortality of cardiovascular disease than those with hypertension or diabetes alone. The present study aimed to identify anthropometric risk factors for diabetes among hypertensive patients who were included in a retrospective cohort study. Methods: Hypertensive adults without diabetes were recruited in China. Demographic, clinical, biochemical, and anthropometric indices were collected at baseline and during the follow-up. Anthropometric measures included BMI, waist circumference, waist-to-height ratio (WHtR), and waist-to-hip ratio, and several novel indices. To estimate the effect of baseline and dynamic changes of each anthropometric index on risk of new-onset diabetes (defined as self-reported physician-diagnosed diabetes and/or use of hypoglycemic medication, or new-onset FPG≥7.0 mmol/L during follow-up), Cox regression models were used. Results: A total of 3852 hypertensive patients were studied, of whom 1167 developed diabetes during follow-up. Multivariate Cox regression analyses showed that there was a graded increased risk of incident diabetes with successively increasing anthropometric indices mentioned above (all Conclusions: Central obesity is an independent and modifiable risk factor for the development of diabetes among hypertensive patients. Measuring indices of central obesity in addition to BMI in clinics could provide incremental benefits in the discrimination of diabetes among Chinese hypertensive patients. Dynamic changes of WHtR could sensitively reflect changes in the risk of diabetes. Therefore, long-term monitoring of hypertensive patients using non-invasive anthropometric measures and timely lifestyle intervention could effectively reduce the development of diabetes.
