Wrist circumference as a novel predictor of transition from metabolically healthy to unhealthy phenotype in overweight/obese adults: a gender-stratified 15.5-year follow-up.
Article in BMC public health, 2021. 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
backgroundIndividuals with transition from metabolically healthy overweight/obese (MHO) to metabolically unhealthy overweight/obese (MUO) phenotype are significantly predisposed to greater risks of cardiovascular events compared to those with a persistent MHO phenotype. The aim of this study was to evaluate the predictive performance of wrist circumference for this transition in adults over a 15.5-year follow-up.
methodsWe included 309 males and 821 females with the age of ≥18 years old, body mass index ≥25 kg/m
resultsThe overall rate of transition from MHO to MUO phenotype was 87.1% in males and 77.5% in females. The hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% CI across second and third tertiles of wrist circumference were 0.89 (0.64-1.24) and 1.31 (0.99-1.73) in men (P for trend =0.027); and 1.34 (1.09-1.66) and 1.61 (1.30-2.00) in women (P for trend <0.001), respectively. After multivariable adjustment, HRs across second and third tertiles of wrist circumference were 0.92 (0.64-1.32) and 1.18 (0.83-1.67) in males (p for trend =0.352), and 1.32 (1.05-1.65) and 1.34 (1.06-1.96) in females (p for trend =0.025), respectively.
conclusionsWrist circumference significantly predicts the transition from MHO to MUO phenotype in adults of both genders. However, it is an independent predictor of the transition only in females. Future studies are warranted to clarify the role of wrist circumference mechanisms on metabolic risk deterioration.
