Fidelity of BMI, Waist, and Waist-to-Height Ratio as Adiposity Measures in Normoglycemic Black vs White American Adults.
Article in Journal of the Endocrine Society, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Objective: To assess ethnic disparities in the association between indirect and direct measures of adiposity in African American (AA) and European American (EA) adults. Methods: We analyzed the indirect [weight, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), waist-to-height ratio (WHtR)] and direct [total fat, trunk fat, fat-free mass (FFM)] adiposity measures in healthy AA and EA adults. Assessments included anthropometry, oral glucose tolerance test, body composition by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), and calculation of direct-to-indirect adiposity ratios (total fat/BMI, trunk fat/WC, trunk fat/WHtR, and FFM/weight). Results: A total of 314 subjects (167 AA, 147 EA) underwent DXA. All participants (mean age 44.2 ± 10.6 years) had normal fasting and 2-hour glucose values. The BMI (AA vs EA) was 31.2 ± 7.42 kg/m Conclusion: The BMI overestimated body fat in AA participants vs EA participants, and WC overestimated trunk fat in AA men vs EA men. These data indicate ethnic disparities in the fidelity of indirect measures of adiposity and argue for ethnic-specific BMI thresholds for determination of overweight/obesity.
