Association Between Visceral Fat Area and Glycated Hemoglobin in Type 2 Diabetics: A Retrospective Study.

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: Obesity is a risk factor for the development of type 2 diabetes (T2DM) as well as its associated metabolic complications. Central obesity, characterized by an increased visceral fat area (VFA), is contributed to the development of T2DM. However, the relationship between VFA and HbA1c is not particularly clear. Methods: A total of 3173 patients with T2DM participated in the study at the Metabolic Management Center (MMC), with anthropometric and biochemical measurements recorded. To examine the association between HbA1c and VFA, fitting curves were plotted, facilitating a comprehensive observation of their relationship. Results: HbA1c was inversely associated with VFA (β -1.79, 95% CI -2.34~-1.24, P < 0.001). The fitted curve shows that VFA increased with the increase of HbA1c when it was less than 8.62%. When it was greater than 8.62%, VFA decreased as HbA1c increased. Using linear inflection point analysis, we found that its inflection point interval falls within 8.36%~8.88%. Conclusion: VFA was positively associated with HbA1c in individuals with T2DM. Furthermore, the relationship between the two variables was an inverted U-shaped association.
