Anthropometric Measures and Risk of Rheumatoid Arthritis in the French E3N Cohort Study.
Article in Nutrients, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
We aimed to assess the relationships between anthropometric measures and risk of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The E3N cohort included 98,995 women (aged 40−65 years at the recruitment) who completed mailed questionnaires on reproductive factors, lifestyle, and health-related information, including anthropometric measures, every 2−3 years. Cox proportional hazards regression models with age as the time scale and adjusted on known RA risk factors were used to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals for the risk of incident RA in the overall population (n = 78,452) and after stratification on smoking exposure. Incident RA diagnosis was validated in 698 women. Abdominal obesity (waist circumference >88 cm) was associated with RA (HR = 1.2 (1.0−1.5)), independent of BMI; whereas obesity, defined as BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2, was marginally associated with RA (HR = 1.26 (0.9−1.5), ptrend = 0.0559). Taking lean body shape (BS) as reference, medium BS at puberty (HR = 1.3 (1.0−1.7)) and medium-large BS at perimenopausal period (HR = 1.5 (1.1−1.9)) were associated with the risk of RA among never-smoker women, independent of BMI. Regarding BS trajectory, taking constantly lean BS as reference, constantly large BS from puberty to perimenopause was associated with RA among non-smokers (HR = 2.10 (1.2−3.6)), independent of BMI.
