Association Between Visceral Obesity Index and Diabetes: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

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
contentThe correlation between visceral obesity index (VAI) and diabetes and accuracy of early prediction of diabetes are still controversial.
objectiveThis study aims to review the relationship between high level of VAI and diabetes and early predictive value of diabetes. DATA SOURCES: The databases of PubMed, Cochrane, Embase, and Web of Science were searched until October 17, 2023. STUDY SELECTION: After adjusting for confounding factors, the original study on the association between VAI and diabetes was analyzed. DATA EXTRACTION: We extracted odds ratio (OR) between VAI and diabetes management after controlling for mixed factors, and the sensitivity, specificity, and diagnostic 4-grid table for early prediction of diabetes. DATA SYNTHESIS: Fifty-three studies comprising 595 946 participants were included. The findings of the meta-analysis elucidated that in cohort studies, a high VAI significantly increased the risk of diabetes mellitus in males (OR = 2.83 [95% CI, 2.30-3.49]) and females (OR = 3.32 [95% CI, 2.48-4.45]). The receiver operating characteristic, sensitivity, and specificity of VAI for early prediction of diabetes in males were 0.64 (95% CI, .62-.66), 0.57 (95% CI, .53-.61), and 0.65 (95% CI, .61-.69), respectively, and 0.67 (95% CI, .65-.69), 0.66 (95% CI, .60-.71), and 0.61 (95% CI, .57-.66) in females, respectively.
conclusionVAI is an independent predictor of the risk of diabetes, yet its predictive accuracy remains limited. In future studies, determine whether VAI can be used in conjunction with other related indicators to early predict the risk of diabetes, to enhance the accuracy of prediction of the risk of diabetes.
