Risk for Cardiovascular Death Associated With Waist Circumference and Diabetes: A 9-Year Prospective Study in the Wan Shou Lu Cohort.
Article in Frontiers in cardiovascular medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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: It has been reported that obesity and diabetes are both risk factors for the development of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). However, recent articles reported that compared with body mass index, waist circumference (WC) can better reflect obesity, more closely related to visceral fat tissue which is positively associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular death. Moreover, few studies have investigated the prognostic value of both WC and diabetes during a long-term follow-up. We aimed to investigate whether the higher level of WC measurements and diabetes were able to predict cardiovascular mortality in the general population. Methods: In this prospective cohort study, a total of 1,521 consecutive subjects free of clinical CVD were included. The endpoint was cardiovascular death. The Kaplan-Meier method and Cox regression models were used to evaluate the cumulative risk of the outcome at different WC levels with or without diabetes. Results: During a median follow-up of 9.2 years, 265 patients died due to cardiovascular conditions. Kaplan-Meier survival estimates indicated that the patients with higher levels of WC (WC > 94 cm) coexisted with diabetes had a significantly increased risk of cardiovascular death (log-rank Conclusion: Patients with high WC and diabetes represent a high-risk population for cardiovascular death. WC and diabetes may provide incremental prognostic value beyond traditional risks factors.
