The association between waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) with diabetes in the PERSIAN Guilan cohort study population.
Article in BMC endocrine disorders, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
backgroundWaist circumference (WC), or waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), potentially offers a more accurate reflection of intra-abdominal fat accumulation and could serve as a superior predictor of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) risk compared to BMI. The current study investigated the relationship between WHR and its influencing factors among diabetes patients enrolled in the Prospective Epidemiological Research Studies in Iran (PERSIAN) Guilan Cohort study (PGCS).
methodIn this cross-sectional study of 10,520 participants, 2,531 had T2DM. Waist and hip circumference, body mass index (BMI), underlying diseases, and demographical data of participants were recorded. Also, fasting blood sugar (FBS), low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, and triglycerides (TG) were assessed. All data was analyzed using SPSS version 16; the significant level was < 0.05.
resultsThe mean age of participants was 51.52 ± 8.90 years, and 39.9% had a BMI between 25 and 30 kg/m
conclusionThe study showed a higher prevalence of abnormal WHR in diabetic patients. Abnormal WHR in patients with diabetes was significantly associated with age, gender, and BMI.
