The influencing of obesity on lung ventilation function among middle-aged and elderly people.
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 3 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
This study examined the effect of obesity on lung ventilation function in middle-aged and older adults using data from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study. Lung function was measured using peak expiratory flow, and obesity was assessed using waist circumference and body mass index (BMI). Logistic regression and the bivariate logit model were applied to analyze the data. Among the 5631 participants, 727 were obese, 1,801 had central obesity, and 2,859 had poor pulmonary function. Individuals with obesity had a higher risk of poor pulmonary ventilation (OR = 1.869, p < 0.001) and a 12.3% decrease in the probability of good lung function (dy/dx = -0.123, p < 0.001). Moreover, individuals with a higher abdominal circumference had an increased risk of poor pulmonary ventilation (OR = 1.842, p < 0.001) and a 12.1% decrease in the probability of good lung function (dy/dx = -0.121, p < 0.001). This study indicates a negative association between obesity and lung ventilation function.
