Obesity and Risk of Incident Left Ventricular Hypertrophy in Community-Dwelling Populations With Hypertension: An Observational Study.
Observational study in Journal of the American Heart Association, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundThe aim of this study was to evaluate the association between obesity and risk of incident left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in community-dwelling populations with hypertension and investigate whether this association would be attenuated by a lower achieved systolic blood pressure (SBP). METHODS AND
resultsWe used the EMINCA (Echocardiographic Measurements in Normal Chinese Adults) criteria, which were derived from healthy Chinese populations to define LVH. A total of 2069 participants with hypertension and without LVH (obesity 20.4%) were included. The association between obesity and risk of incident LVH was evaluated using Cox proportional hazard models and stratified by achieved follow-up SBP levels (≥140, 130-139, and <130 mm Hg). These analyses were also assessed using the American Society of Echocardiography/European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging criteria, which were derived from European populations to define LVH. After a median follow-up of 2.90 years, the rates of incident LVH in the normal-weight, overweight, and obese groups were 13.5%, 20.3%, and 27.8%, respectively (
conclusionsObesity was associated with incident LVH and an SBP target <130 mm Hg might be needed to attenuate this risk in patients with hypertension and obesity.
