Association between weight-adjusted waist index with incident stroke in the elderly with hypertension: a cohort study.
Article in Scientific reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 25 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
The objective of this study was to ascertain the relationship between the weight-adjusted waist index (WWI) and the risk of stroke in an elderly hypertensive population, a relationship that has not been previously elucidated. The Cox regression model was employed to assess the correlation between baseline WWI measurements and the incidence of stroke. To further elucidate the shape of the association between baseline WWI and stroke, restricted cubic splines were employed. Furthermore, subgroup analyses and interaction tests were carried out to investigate potential heterogeneities. Our study cohort comprised 4962 hypertensive individuals aged 60 years or older with no prior history of stroke. Over a median follow-up of 3.2 years, we found 547 new-onset stroke cases. After adjusting for confounding variables, the Cox regression analysis revealed a positive association between baseline WWI and the risk of stroke, with hazard ratios (HRs) escalating progressively as WWI values increased. When compared to the lowest quartile of WWI, the highest quartile demonstrated an HR of 1.87 (95% CI, 1.44-2.42) for stroke. Subgroup analyses confirmed the consistency of this relationship across different demographic and clinical strata. The study findings indicate that an elevated WWI is significantly related with a higher risk of new-onset stroke among elderly patients with hypertension. These results underscore the importance of WWI as a potential risk stratification tool. To confirm these results and explore the causal mechanisms behind the observed correlation, more study is necessary.
