The Association Between Visceral Adiposity Index and Worsening Renal Function in the Elderly.
Article in Frontiers in nutrition, 2022. 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
Background: Visceral adiposity index (VAI) is an indicator of visceral fat accumulation and dysfunction. However, little is known about whether VAI is associated with worsening renal function (WRF) in the elderly. Therefore, our study aimed to explore the association between VAI and WRF among the elderly population. Methods: In total, 5,583 elderly participants (aged ≥ 65 years) who participated in the annual health checkups at least twice between January 2017 and July 2021 were enrolled and divided into four groups according to the VAI quartiles. The primary endpoint was incident chronic kidney disease (CKD), defined as incident estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) < 60 ml/min/1.73 m Results: During a median of 2.46 year follow-up, 931 (16.68%) participants developed CKD. After fully adjusting for confounding factors, VAI was significantly associated with incident CKD (HR, 1.052; 95% CI: 1.029-1.076, Conclusion: In our study, elevated VAI was associated with increased risk of incident CKD and RKFD in the elderly population.
