Age- and sex-related trends in body composition among Beijing adults aged 20-60 years: a cross-sectional study.
Article in BMC public health, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
backgroundObesity is the most serious global epidemic and body composition is the main indicator to evaluate obesity. This study aimed to investigate the changing trends of body composition by age and gender in Beijing adults aged 20-60 years and explore the distribution of obesity rates in different age groups of both sexes under different evaluation criteria.
methodsA total of 24,948 adults aged 20-60 years in Beijing, including 10,225 males and 14,192 females, were included, divided into four age groups (20-29, 30-39, 40-49, and ≥ 50 years) with each decade of age as an age group. Body composition indicators (BMI, fat mass, BF%, muscle mass, visceral fat area, and WHR) were measured in all subjects.
resultsBMI and total fat mass peaked in males aged 40-49 years (BMI = 25.75 kg/m
conclusionThe results of this study reveal that age- and sex-related patterns of body composition and obesity change among Beijing adults aged 20-60 years may differ across age groups and that such patterns of change should be considered when developing public health strategies.
