1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Objective: Hypertension (HTN) is a prevalent global health concern. From the standpoint of preventive and personalized medicine (PPPM/3PM), early detection of HTN offers a crucial opportunity for targeted prevention and personalized treatment. This study aimed to evaluate the association between the weight-adjusted waist index (WWI) and HTN risk. Methods: A case-control study using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 2005 to 2018 was conducted. Logistic regression models assessed the association between WWI and HTN. Subgroup analyses explored differences in age, sex, ethnicity, and diabetes status. Restricted cubic spline (RCS) analyses examined potential nonlinear relationships. Results: A total of 32,116 participants, with an average age of 49.28 ± 17.56 years, were included in the study. A significant positive association between WWI and the risk of HTN was identified (odds ratio [OR], 2.49; 95% CI, 2.39-2.59; Conclusion: WWI is independently associated with HTN risk, highlighting its potential as a risk assessment tool in clinical practice. Incorporating WWI into early detection strategies enhances targeted prevention and personalized management of HTN.
