1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

objectivesBody mass index (BMI) is a known indicator of all-cause mortality. However, conventional BMI does not reflect the three-dimensional human body. To overcome this limitation, a new BMI has been proposed that provides a closer approximation of real human body shape. This study investigated the associations between the new BMI and poor outcomes in patients with antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis (AAV).

methodWe retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 242 patients with AAV in a single tertiary medical center. Based on the new BMI, the patients were categorized into four groups: underweight (<18.5 kg/m

resultsThe underweight group, according to the new BMI, had higher hazard ratios (HRs) for all-cause mortality (HR: 3.180, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.134-8.922, p = 0.028), relapse (HR: 2.141, 95% CI: 1.019-4.368, p = 0.036), and ESRD development (HR: 2.729, 95% CI: 1.190-6.259, p = 0.018) than the healthy weight group. However, according to the conventional BMI, there were no differences in the risks for all poor outcomes between the underweight and healthy weight groups. Multivariate logistic regression analysis demonstrated that being underweight, according to the new BMI, was an independent risk factor for all-cause mortality (HR: 5.285; 95% CI: 1.468-19.018; p = 0.011).

conclusionBeing underweight, according to the new BMI, is associated with poor outcomes in patients with AAV.
