Body Shape Index and Cardiovascular Risk in Individuals With Obesity.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
introductionCardio-metabolic risks are tested to show various anthropometric measurements. This study aimed to evaluate a body shape index (ABSI) of individuals with obesity to determine the role of these measurements in cardiovascular risk prediction.
methodsThis cross-sectional study included 368 patients who were evaluated by the researcher in the polyclinic. Sociodemographic information was obtained, and anthropometric measurements were made. Body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, and ABSI were evaluated in all patients. The patient's risk of developing cardiovascular disease was calculated from the pooled cohort equations risk calculator (PRCAE), Framingham risk score, and systematic coronary risk evaluation (SCORE) risk calculation systems.
resultsOf the 368 patients in the study, 302 (82.1%) were females, and 66 (17.9%) were males. The average age of participants was 46.2 ± 12.0 years. The median BMI of participants was 37.5 (34.0-42.4) kg/m
conclusionsOur study results revealed a significant association of ABSI with Framingham, PRCAE, and SCORE risk calculation systems, which helps predict cardiovascular risk.
