Cut-off values and clinical efficacy of body roundness index and other novel anthropometric indices in identifying metabolic syndrome and its components among Southern-Indian adults.
Article in Diabetology international, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 29 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
contextAbdominal obesity (AO) is a definitive link between cardiometabolic complications and metabolic syndrome (MetS). Many traditional and novel anthropometric indices have been identified to determine AO, and their relationship to MetS has been investigated. However, whether these indices are useful in a clinical setting is unknown. Moreover, the cut-off points for these indices to determine MetS have yet to be defined among Southern-Indian adults.
aimsWe aimed to evaluate the cut-off values and clinical efficacy of novel anthropometric indices in identifying MetS and its components. MATERIALS AND
methodsSubjects (
resultsCompared to the control group, all the novel anthropometric indices were noticeably higher in both male and female subjects of the MetS group. The area under the curve values (AUCs) demonstrated that BRI, CI, AVI, and WTI had superior detection power in identifying MetS, and the AUCs varied upon stratification by gender. BRI was strongly associated with the highest odds of having MetS (OR 66.03).
conclusionsThe optimal cut-off and AUC values attained for BRI, CI, AVI, and WTI have a clinical approach in identifying MetS and its components. The efficacy of these indices to identify MetS differed by gender.
