Diagnostic accuracy of the waist-to-height ratio and other anthropometric indices for metabolically healthy obesity in the working population.
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 6 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
Approximately one-third of overweight individuals, and half of those with obesity, do not have cardiometabolic disorders. For this reason, a phenotype called metabolically healthy obese (MHO) has emerged to describe this population group. The early detection of this situation could save costs associated with the development of comorbidities or pharmacological interventions. Therefore, the aim is to know the prevalence of MHO in the working population and propose variables for its detection. Cross-sectional descriptive study of 635 workers of the Cordoba City Council was carried out based on the results of the 2016 health surveillance. The outcome variables were the MHO, established based on the criteria of the IDF, NCEP-ATP III, and Aguilar-Salinas. In addition, the degree of agreement between the different MHO criteria was studied using Cohen's kappa (k), and the predictive capacity of the anthropometric variables was assessed with Receiver Operator Curves. The prevalence of MHO ranged from 6.6 to 9%. The highest agreement was reached between the IDF and NCEP-ATP III definitions (
