Association between a body shape index and abdominal aortic calcification in general population: A cross-sectional study.
Article in Frontiers in cardiovascular medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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: The association between a body shape index (ABSI) and abdominal aortic calcification (AAC) is still unclear, so we tried to prove the association between ABSI and AAC in the general population in this cross-sectional study. Materials and methods: After excluding participants with missing data on height, weight, waist circumference (WC), and AAC, we finally selected 3,140 participants aged 40-80 years from the 2013-2014 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Using multivariate logistic regression and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves to test the association between ABSI and AAC. Results: Participants (median age: 58.0 years; 48.3% men) were divided into two groups by the optimal cutoff point of ABSI: higher ABSI (> 0.84) and lower ABSI (≤ 0.84). Participants with higher ABSI showed significantly higher proportion of AAC than those with lower ABSI (39.8 vs. 23.7%, Conclusion: Higher ABSI was closely associated with higher risk of AAC, and discriminant ability of ABSI for AAC was significantly higher than height, weight, BMI, WC, and WHtR.
