Correlation of visceral adiposity index and dietary profile with cardiovascular disease based on decision tree modeling: a cross-sectional study of NHANES.
Article in European journal of medical research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
backgroundVisceral adiposity index (VAI) and diets are associated with the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). It is unclear how well VAI and diet predict CVD.
methodsData were obtained from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES 2017-2018). Demographic data, diets, biochemical examination, and questionnaire information were collected. VAI was calculated using body mass index, waist circumference, triglycerides, and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. Binary logistic regression was adopted to examine the correlation of VAI and diets with CVD. A decision tree model was developed to predict CVD risk according to different factors.
results2104 participants (mean age: 50.87 ± 17.35 years, 48.38% males) were included. Participants with high levels of VAI (≥ 2.18) had an elevated risk of CVD compared to those with low levels of VAI (≤ 0.76) (OR = 1.654, 95% CI: 1.025-2.669, P = 0.039). Compared with the low protein intake level (≤ 50.34 g), the upper intermediate (72.10-99.92 g) (OR = 0.445, 95% CI: 0.257-0.770, P = 0.004) and high (≥ 99.93 g) levels of protein intake (OR = 0.450, 95% CI: 0.236-0.858, P = 0.015) reduced CVD risk. The decision tree model unveiled that VAI, protein intake, and dietary fiber intake were predictors for CVD.
conclusionVAI and protein intake levels are independently associated with CVD risk and have predictive power for CVD. These findings can provide insights into the development of appropriate lifestyle and treatment strategies for patients to reduce the incidence of CVD.
