1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Background: Cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic (CKM) syndrome is a disease characterized by interrelated cardiovascular, renal, and metabolic abnormalities. The body roundness index (BRI) is an innovative anthropometric index that characterizes human body shape by calculating body roundness and using eccentricity to estimate visceral and total body fat percentages. The present study aimed to clarify the relation between BRI and advanced CKM syndrome. Methods: Data were obtained from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey conducted between 2005 and 2018. Tertiles based on data analysis were applied to divide the levels of BRI. Regression methods assessed the association of BRI with the risk of advanced CKM syndrome. Moreover, receiver operating characteristic analysis determined BRI's predictive performance for such a syndrome. Results: The present study included 12,329 participants, with an advanced CKM occurrence rate of 12.20%. Regression analysis revealed a positive association between BRI and advanced CKM syndrome. After adjusting for covariates, individuals in the highest BRI tertile (T3) showed a significantly higher prevalence of advanced CKM syndrome compared to the reference group (odds ratio: 1.49; 95% confidence interval: 1.09-2.03, Conclusion: An increased BRI is associated with a higher occurrence rate of advanced CKM syndrome. BRI demonstrated a stronger correlation with advanced CKM than traditional measures and warrants consideration as a preferred metric for CKM risk stratification.
