Clinical significance of obesity measurement indicators and carotid artery plaques in type 2 diabetes.
Article in BMC cardiovascular disorders, 2025. 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
introductionTo investigate the clinical significance of obesity measurement indicators in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM) complicated with carotid plaque.
methodsA total of 1009 subjects with T2DM were recruited in the cross-sectional study, and body measurements were collected. According to the results of carotid artery ultrasound, the study subjects were divided into T2DM without carotid plaque group (NCP: n = 617) and with carotid plaque group (WCP: n = 392).
resultsCompared with the NCP group, the waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), waist-to-height ratio (WHtR), Chinese visceral fat index (CVAI), body roundness index (BRI), body fat index (BAI), body shape index (ABSI), and abdominal volume index (AVI) were significantly increased in the WCP group (P < 0.05). The results of multivariate stepwise logistic regression analysis showed that BAI, CVAI and ABSI had the greatest effect on carotid plaque (P < 0.05). After adjusting for multiple confounding factors, CVAI and ABSI remained independently associated with carotid plaques, and the combination of the three indicators exhibited superior predictive value for carotid plaques.
conclusionCVAI and ABSI are closely related to the occurrence and development of carotid plaque in subjects with T2DM, and the combined application has a good effect on predicting carotid plaque.
