Association between Body Fat Percentage and Cardiometabolic Diseases in General Population.
Article in Endocrine, metabolic & immune disorders drug targets, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
objectivesThe body fat percentage is an indicator of overall body fat related to metabolism and inflammation. Our study aims to analyze the association between body fat percentage and the risk of cardiometabolic diseases in the general population.
methodsThis was a retrospectively cross-sectional study. A total of 5084 participants enrolled from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey cycle of 1999-2004 were divided into quartiles according to their body fat percent levels. The body fat percentage was measured from bioelectrical impedance analysis. A history of cardiometabolic diseases, including cardiovascular disease, hypertension and diabetes mellitus, was ascertained from questionnaire, physical or laboratory examination. The association between body fat percentage and cardiometabolic diseases was investigated using multivariate logistic regression.
resultsCompared with the lowest quartile of body fat percentage, the multivariate-adjusted odds ratio and 95% confidence interval of the highest quartile was 3.99 (1.58-10.88) for cardiovascular disease, 1.08 (1.04-1.13) for hypertension and 3.08 (1.89-5.11) for diabetes. Body fat percentage independently increased the risk of cardiometabolic diseases as a continuous variable.
conclusionHigher body fat percentage level was associated with a higher likelihood of cardiometabolic diseases, which could be a powerful predictive factor.
