Elucidating the Relationship Between Body Fat Index and Pulmonary Health: Insights from Cross-Sectional Analysis and Mendelian Randomization.
Article in International journal of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Objective: To evaluate the relationship between body fat index and pulmonary health. Methods: In the multiethnic population-based cross-sectional study, a multivariable linear regression model was adapted to assess the association of fat mass/percentage with forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV Results: In the cross-sectional analysis, a non-linear relationship was observed between fat mass and FEV Conclusion: We present strong evidence on the causal relationship between body fat mass/percentage and both the deterioration of lung function and the increased risk of COPD. Additional efforts are required to mitigate the negative effects of body fat.
