[Cut-off points of anthropometric markers for hypertension and hyperglycemia in Argentine adults: a cross-sectional study from the 4th ENFR]
Article in Revista de la Facultad de Ciencias Medicas (Cordoba, Argentina), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07609043 (Impact of Prasterone on Cardiometabolic Indicators in Perimenopausal Women.), which is not on this map. Cited by 3 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.

Abstract
Introduction: High waist circumference (WC), waist-to-height ratio (WHtR), and body mass index (BMI) are associated with increased cardiometabolic risk. The objective was to identify anthropometric cut-off points that allow discriminating subjects at increased risk of presenting high blood pressure and glycemia in Argentine adults. Methods: The results of the 4th Argentine ENFR were used. Subjects aged 18 to 65 years who had blood pressure, blood glucose, and anthropometry directly measured were included (n=4254 and 1683 subjects of both sexes for high blood pressure and blood glucose, respectively). The area under the ROC curve was calculated. The optimal cut-off point was the one with the smallest difference between sensitivity and specificity. Adjusted odds ratios (aOR) were calculated for each point. Results: In men, the cut-off points for high blood pressure were WC=91.5 cm (aOR= 3.55; 95% CI=2.97-4.24), WHtR=0.541 (aOR=3.12; 95% CI =2.61-3.73) and BMI=27.0 kg/m2 (aOR=3.04; CI95%=2.55-3.63); and for high blood glucose WC=94.5 cm (aOR=2.46; 95% CI=1.64-3.70), WHtR =0.559 (aOR=2.35; 95% CI=1.55-3.55) and BMI=28.6 kg/m2 (aOR= 3.23; CI95%=2.14-4.88). In women, for high blood pressure, WC=88.5 cm (aOR=3.57; 95% CI=2.84-4.41), WHtR=0.542 (aOR=3.45; 95% CI=2.79- 4.27) and BMI=26.7 kg/m2 (aOR=3.25; CI95%=2.64-4.02); and for high blood glucose WC=93.5 cm (aOR=4.28; 95% CI=2.72-6.75), WHtR =0.573 (aOR=3.61; 95% CI=2.31-5.66) and BMI=27.8 kg/m2 (aOR= 3.14; CI95%=2.03-4.87). Conclusion: Argentine adults who have WC measured on the skin and are above the cut-off points identified here, have a significantly higher risk of presenting high blood pressure and hiperglycemia.
