Different associations of anthropometric indices with diabetic retinopathy and diabetic kidney disease in chinese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Article in Acta diabetologica, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
aimsTo investigate the associations of anthropometric indices, including body mass index (BMI), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), waist-to-height ratio (WHtR), waist circumference (WC) and hip circumference (HC), with diabetic retinopathy (DR) and diabetic kidney disease (DKD) in Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). MATERIALS AND
methodsThis cross-sectional study evaluated 5226 Chinese participants with T2DM at three hospitals between 2005 and 2016. Logistic regression models and restricted cubic spline analysis were used to assess the associations of anthropometric indices with DR and DKD.
resultsA BMI of around 25 kg/m
conclusionsA median BMI and a large hip might be related to a low risk of DR, while lower levels of all the anthropometric indices were associated with a lower risk of DKD. Our findings suggested maintain a median BMI, a low WHR, a low WHtR and a large hip for prevention of DR and DKD.
