Waist-corrected BMI predicts incident diabetes mellitus in a population-based observational cohort study.
Observational study in Frontiers in endocrinology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Introduction: Waist-corrected body mass index (wBMI), which combines BMI and waist circumference (WC) measurements, has proven superior to either measure alone for predicting obesity but has not yet been applied to the prediction of diabetes mellitus (DM). Methods: Over a 5-year period, 305,499 subjects were eligible for this study based on citizen health check-ups in the Tacheng Area of northwest China. Diagnosis of DM was defined as the end point. Results: After exclusion, a total of 111,851 subjects were included in the training cohort and 47,906 in the validation cohort. Participants of both sexes with wBMI in the upper quartiles had significantly higher incidence of DM than those with wBMI in the lower quartiles (log-rank χ Discussion: This study provides a reference for advanced investigation of wBMI on DM and other metabolic diseases in the future.
