Associations between obesity parameters and the risk of incident atrial fibrillation and ischaemic stroke in the different age groups.
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
Objective: Obesity and aging are important predisposing factors to atrial fibrillation (AF) and ischaemic stroke (IS). However, limited data comprehensively evaluated the relationships between obesity measurements and AF and IS in different ages. Methods: A total of 9,432,332 adults from the Korean National Health Insurance Service Database were included. The study population was categorized into the six age subgroups by an increase every decade from the twenties. We evaluated AF and IS risk according to body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC) in the different age groups. Results: During a mean follow-up of 8.2 ± 1.0 years, BMI-AF presented a J-shaped association across ages. The highest hazard ratio (HR) of the BMI ≥ 30 kg/m Conclusion: The higher risks of AF and IS according to an increment of BMI and WC were most apparent among the young ages. The association between obesity measurements and IS was not significantly above the midlife. Weight management in the young and integrated risk factor management in the elderly are warranted.
