[Waist-to-BMI index outperforms BMI and waist circumference in predicting elevated pulse pressure: a population-based analysis in Peru].
Article in Archivos de cardiologia de Mexico, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 compare body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC) and WC-BMI in predicting elevated pulse pressure and to examine how these associations vary by age and sex. Method: A cross-sectional analysis used data from the Peru Demographic and Health Survey (2018-2023). Poisson regression models with robust variance were employed to evaluate the association between anthropometric measures and elevated pulse pressure (≥ 50 mmHg), adjusting for sociodemographic and lifestyle factors. Results: WC-BMI showed the most consistent and robust association with elevated pulse pressure compared to BMI and WC. The strength of the association was more significant in adults under 60 years and women. An attenuation of the effect was observed in individuals over 60 years for all anthropometric measures. WC-BMI presented a more linear and stable relationship across different population subgroups. Conclussions: WC-BMI predicts elevated pulse pressure more precisely than BMI or WC alone. The attenuation of the effect in older adults and the differences by sex highlights the importance of considering demographic factors in evaluating cardiovascular risk.
