Serum-Creatinine-to-Cystatin C-to-Waist-Circumference Ratios as an Indicator of Severe Airflow Limitation in Older Adults.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundThis study aimed to investigate the association between the serum-creatinine-to-cystatin C-to-waist-circumference (CCR/WC) ratio with lung function and severe airflow limitation (SAL).
methodsThe data were derived from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study. Peak expiratory flow (PEF) was used as a measure of lung function parameter. Logistic and linear regression were utilized separately to evaluate the relationship between the CCR/WC ratio with PEF and SAL in baseline. Restricted cubic spline was used to explore potential non-linear associations between the CCR/WC ratio and SAL. Cox proportional-hazards models were used to assess the association between CCR/WC quartiles and the risk of new-onset SAL.
resultsA total of 6105 participants were included. This study revealed a positive association between the CCR/WC ratio and lung function (PEF: β [partial coefficient]: 25.95, 95%CI: 12.72 to 39.18,
conclusionsThis study highlights a positive association between the CCR/WC ratio and lung function, with a potential protective effect against SAL.
