The association of measures of body shape and adiposity with incidence of cardiometabolic disease from an ageing perspective.

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
While obesity increases the risk of developing cardiometabolic diseases (CMDs), these associations seem to attenuate with increasing age, albeit studied poorly. The present study aimed to investigate the associations between adiposity and CMDs in sex-specific groups of chronological age and leukocyte telomere length (LTL) as a measure of biological age. We investigated the associations between BMI, a body shape index, waist-to-hip ratio (adjusted for BMI) and total body fat, and incident coronary artery disease (CAD), type 2 diabetes (T2D) and ischemic stroke (IS) in 413,017 European-ancestry participants of the UK Biobank without CMD at baseline. We assessed the change in the associations between adiposity and CMD over strata of increasing chronological age or decreasing LTL. Participants (56% women) had a median (IQR) age of 57.0 (50.0-63.0) years. The median follow-up time was 12 years. People with higher BMI had a higher risk of incident CAD (HR 1.14 (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.13, 1.16)), T2D (HR 1.70 (95% CI 1.68, 1.72)) and IS (HR 1.09 (95% CI 1.06, 1.12)). In groups based on chronological age and LTL, adiposity measures were associated with higher risk of CAD and T2D in both men and women, but these associations attenuated with increasing chronological age (P
