Associations of body roundness index with cardiovascular and all-cause mortality: NHANES 2001-2018.

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
Body roundness index (BRI) was associated with cardiovascular diseases. But the relationship between BRI with cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality and all-cause mortality remains largely unknown in hypertensive patients. This prospective cohort study included patients with hypertension who participated in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 2001 through 2018, and aimed to evaluate the association between BRI with CVD mortality and all-cause mortality. A total of 15570 patients were included. Over a median follow-up of 8.0 years (interquartile range, 4.3-12.6 years), 3445 individuals died, including 1166 CVD deaths. Weighted restricted cubic spline regression results showed a nonlinear association between BRI and CVD mortality and all-cause mortality (both P for nonlinear trend <0.001). The weighted multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression showed the hazard ratio (HRs) for CVD mortality were 0.93 (95% CI: 0.84-1.03, P = 0.160) in the low levels of BRI (≤5.9) and 1.11 (95% CI: 1.05-1.19, P < 0.001) in the high levels of BRI (>5.9). Similar associations were observed for all-cause mortality, the HRs were 0.91 (95% CI: 0.87-0.96, P < 0.001) in the low levels of BRI (≤6.3) and 1.09 (95% CI: 1.05-1.13, P < 0.001) in the high levels of BRI (>6.3). This cohort study supported that BRI was nonlinearly associated with CVD mortality and all-cause mortality among patients with hypertension. The thresholds of 5.9 and 6.3 for CVD mortality and all-cause mortality, respectively, may represent intervention targets for lowering the risk of premature death, but this needs to be confirmed in large clinical trials.
