A Body Shape Index as a Simple Anthropometric Marker for the Risk of Cardiovascular Events.
Review in Current cardiology reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
purpose of reviewTo provide an overview of the predictive value of A Body Shape Index (ABSI) for the risk of cardiovascular events. RECENT
findingsABSI has been reported to have an association with development of cardiovascular diseases, and its usefulness for predicting major cardiovascular events including cardiovascular mortality, nonfatal coronary syndrome and nonfatal stroke has been investigated. The formula for ABSI includes waist circumference, which is not included in the conventional calculation of body mass index (BMI), along with BMI and height. High ABSI is independently associated with a high incidence of cardiovascular events. ABSI with specific cutoff values can be a useful tool for cardiovascular risk stratification by detecting the presence of abdominal obesity and it can be used for evaluation of the risk of cardiovascular events. Nonetheless, other factors such as race, gender, age, and physical, environmental and socioeconomic purviews also need be taken into consideration.
