Longitudinal association between adiposity changes and lung function deterioration.
Article in Respiratory research, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 24 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
backgroundThe longitudinal relationship between adiposity and lung function is controversial. We aimed to investigate the long-term association between adiposity changes and lung function in a middle-aged general Asian population.
methodsIn total, 5011 participants (average age, 54 years; 45% men) were enrolled from a community-based prospective cohort. During the follow-up period (median 8 years), both spirometry and bio-electrical impedance analysis were performed biannually. Individual slopes of the fat mass index (FMI; fat mass divided by the square of height in meters) and waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) were calculated using linear regression analysis. Multivariate linear mixed regression analysis was used to determine the long-term association between adiposity changes and lung function.
resultsThe FMI was inversely associated with forced vital capacity (FVC) (estimated: - 31.8 mL in men, - 27.8 mL in women) and forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV
conclusionAdiposity was associated with the long-term impairment of lung function. Central obesity was the main driver of lung function impairment in the middle-aged general Asian population, regardless of fat mass changes.
