Association between sagittal abdominal diameter-to-height ratio and all-cause mortality among adults in the United States: a longitudinal 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
backgroundThe global health crisis of obesity has prompted a need for better indicators of abdominal obesity than body mass index, with sagittal abdominal diameter emerging as a potential candidate. Nonetheless, the association between sagittal abdominal diameter-to-height ratio (SADHtR) and mortality remains inadequately established. Our objective was to contribute novel evidence to this association.
methodsThis study encompassed 12,572 participants aged 18-80 years from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2011-2016. Mortality data were tracked until December 31, 2019. Weighted multivariable Cox proportional hazard models were employed to evaluate the association between SADHtR and all-cause mortality, with subgroup analyses conducted for result robustness.
resultsFollowing a median follow-up period of 69 months, each standard deviation (SD) increase in SADHtR was consistently associated with a higher risk of all-cause mortality across three models, yielding a hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) of 1.51(1.29,1.76) in model 3. Additionally, compared to the first tertile of SADHtR, the third tertile exhibited a higher risk for all-cause mortality, with HRs(95%CIs) of 1.58(1.25,2.01) in model 1, 2.01(1.33,3.02) in model 2, and 1.74(1.19,2.57) in model 3. Notably, subgroup analysis revealed persistent positive associations between SADHtR and all-cause mortality among subgroups based on age-at-risk (< 65, ≥ 65 years), sex, diabetes, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia.
conclusionsElevated SADHtR was consistently associated with a higher risk of all-cause mortality in American adults. Regular SADHtR measurement should be considered to be integrated into clinical practice and healthcare examinations.
