Predictive ability of six obesity measures to identify 7-year fatal and non-fatal cardiovascular events: A population-based cohort study.
Article in International journal of cardiology. Cardiovascular risk and prevention, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: Globally, most people die from cardiovascular diseases. We aimed to compare predictive ability of six obesity indices, including body mass index, waist circumference, waist-to-hip ratio, waist-to-height ratio, conicity index, and abdominal volume index, to identify people at risk of fatal and non-fatal cardiovascular events, in a cohort study. Methods: We studied 5147 participants in a baseline population-based cohort study conducted in northern Iran. The obesity measures were calculated in enrollment phase (2009-2010), and the cardiovascular events were recorded during a 7-year follow-up phase (2010-2017). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analyses and Cox hazard regression models were applied, considering the obesity measures as predictors, and the 7-year cardiovascular events as outcomes. Multiple Cox models were adjusted by age, prior history of cardiovascular diseases, chronic kidney diseases, insulin resistance, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, hypertension, and smoking status. Results: Conicity index showed the highest performance in predicting 7-year fatal and non-fatal cardiovascular events with areas under the ROC curve of 0.77 [95% confidence interval: 0.71-0.82], and 0.63 [0.59-0.68] in men, and 0.80 [0.74-0.87], and 0.65 [0.60-0.71] in women, respectively. In multiple Cox models, the obesity measures had no significant associations with cardiovascular events in women. In men, only waist-to-height ratio was independently associated with 7-year non-fatal cardiovascular events (hazard ratio: 1.19 [95% confidence interval: 1.01-1.38]). Conclusions: Although waist-to-height ratio had an independent association with 7-year non-fatal cardiovascular events in men, conicity index showed the best ability to predict 7-year fatal and non-fatal cardiovascular events in our study.
