Relatively lower BMI-adjusted calf circumference is associated with metabolically unhealthy phenotype in non-obese adults: a cross-sectional 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
backgroundMetabolically unhealthy non-obese (MUNO) individuals are at higher risk of cardiovascular diseases, while not receiving sufficient attention. This study was conducted to explore the association between BMI-adjusted CC and MUNO in non-obese US adults using the NHANES database.
methodsA total of 9,628 non-obese US adults (48.01% female and 51.99% male) were included in this cross-sectional study. The metabolically unhealthy phenotype was defined as ≥ 2 components of metabolic abnormalities. BMI-adjusted CC and BMI-adjusted skeletal muscle mass (SMM) were divided into quartiles. Weighted multiple logistic regression model was used to evaluate the study aims. The relation between BMI-adjusted CC and BMI-adjusted SMM was tested by Spearman correlation.
resultsIn the multivariate analysis, compared with the lowest quartile of BMI-adjusted CC and BMI-adjusted SMM, OR (95%CI) of the highest quartile was 0.30 (0.25, 0.35) (P < 0.001, P for trend < 0.001) and 0.39 (0.29, 0.53) (P < 0.001, P for trend < 0.001), respectively. BMI-adjusted CC was positively correlated with BMI-adjusted SMM for all participants (r = 0.48). A weak non-linear association was observed in BMI-adjusted CC and MUNO (P = 0.047). Similar results were observed in sex- and BMI-specific subgroup and sensitivity analysis.
conclusionBMI-adjusted CC was inversely associated with MUNO, suggesting more attention should be paid to monitoring BMI-adjusted CC for the public to ease the disease burden, especially for people without obesity.
