Gender Differences of Visceral Fat Area to Hip Circumference Ratio for Insulin Resistance.

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
Introduction: Not all type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients exhibit insulin resistance (IR). Our objective is to identify the most effective sex-specific index for predicting IR in T2DM. This will be achieved through a comparative analysis of the sex-specific attributes of waist to hip circumference ratio (WHR), visceral fat area to hip circumference ratio (VHR), and visceral fat area to subcutaneous fat area ratio (VSR). Methods: Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was conducted to estimate the area under the curve for WHR, VHR, and VSR. Subsequently, logistic regression was employed to analyze the relationship between VHR and IR. Results: There were significant differences between males and females in anthropometric measurements, biochemical data, and obesity prevalence. ROC analysis revealed that the area under the curve (AUC) for predicting male IR was 0.67, 0.71, and 0.62 for WHR, VHR, and VSR, respectively. For females, the AUC values were 0.63, 0.69, and 0.60, respectively. In multivariate logistic regression analysis, adjusting for confounding factors, compared to the lowest tertile of VHR, the odds ratio (OR) of the highest tertile was 2.2 (95% CI: 1.47-3.3, P<0.001) for males and 2.1 (95% CI: 1.24-3.57, P=0.005) for females. Conclusion: VHR emerges as the most reliable predictor of IR risk in individuals with T2DM.
