Association of body roundness index with diabetes and prediabetes in US adults from NHANES 2007-2018: a cross-sectional study.

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
objectiveThe present study examined the ability of the body roundness index (BRI) to predict the incidence of diabetes and prediabetes among adults in the USA.
methodThe study enrolled 11,980 adults aged ≥ 20 years from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). Logistic regression served as the primary method for analyzing the relevant link between BRI and the incidence of diabetes and prediabetes, including univariate analysis, multivariate regression analysis, smooth curve fitting analysis, and subgroup analysis. What's more, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was applied to confirm the predictive values of BRI for diabetes and prediabetes.
resultsEach unit higher than BRI was associated with a 17% increased risk of diabetes and prediabetes after covariate adjustments (OR: 1.17, 95% CI: 1.07-1.27). Those with BRI in the high scores (Q4) possessed an increased likelihood of having diabetes and prediabetes than individuals in the reference group (OR: 1.83, 95% CI: 1.29-2.58). A smooth curve fitting analysis revealed a non-linear trend. The results across all population subgroups were uniform to those of the total population. The ROC curve indicated that the BRI was the best predictor of diabetes and prediabetes among other anthropometric indices.
conclusionsDiabetes and prediabetes occurrence rates and BRI have a positive and non-linear relationship in American adults. The BRI indices could function as predictive markers for diabetes and prediabetes.
