Association of obesity profiles with type 2 diabetes in Chinese adults: Findings from the China health and nutrition survey.
Article in Frontiers in nutrition, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Aims: To examine longitudinal associations of obesity profiles, continuous BMI, and waist circumference (WC) with the risk of type 2 diabetes in Chinese adults. Methods: Data were derived from three waves (2009, 2015, and 2018) of the China Health and Nutrition Survey, and 3,595 adults aged 18-65 years who participated in at least two waves of the survey and had completed data were analyzed. Obesity profiles included BMI- or WC-related single obesity and combined obesity. Combined obesity was categorized into six groups including Group 1 with normal BMI and WC, Group 2 with normal BMI but pre-abdominal obesity, Group 3 with normal BMI but abdominal obesity, Group 4 with abnormal BMI (overweight and general obesity) and normal WC, Group 5 with abnormal BMI and pre-abdominal obesity, and Group 6 with abnormal BMI and abdominal obesity. Three-level mixed-effects logistic regressions with random intercept stratified by gender and restricted cubic splines were performed to examine ORs and 95%CIs for the risk of type 2 diabetes. Results: In men, compared with subjects of Group 1, those in Group 3 had higher risk, with an OR of 4.83 (95% CI: 1.99-11.74), followed by those in Group 6 (OR = 4.05, 95%CI: 2.32-7.08) and Group 5 (OR = 2.98, 95%CI: 1.51-5.87) after adjusting for all potential confounders. For women, the subject of Group 6 had highest risk (OR = 8.79, 95%CI: 4.04-19.12), followed by Group 3 (OR = 3.30, 95%CI: 1.23-8.86) and Group 5 (OR = 3.16, 95%CI: 1.21-8.26). No significant association between abnormal BMI and normal WC (Group 4) was observed in both genders. Type 2 diabetes risk increased steeply at BMI of 23.5 kg/m Conclusion: Chinese adults with pre-abdominal or abdominal obesity had a relative high risk of type 2 diabetes independent of BMI levels. Lower BMI (≤23.5 kg/m
