Association of Heavy Smoking With High Body Mass Index and Cardiovascular Risk Score in Japan.

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: Although smoking, an established cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk, is a modifier of body mass index (BMI), studies are still lacking addressing a potential association between smoking and BMI or BMI-related risk factors in Asia. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between smoking and BMI or CVD risk factors in a working-age population in Japan. Methods: Eight thousand eight hundred thirty-six male and seven thousand three hundred seventy female health checkup examinees in a single center without self-reported heart disease or stroke were analyzed by multiple regression analysis for an association between the smoking status (never, current, or past) or the number of cigarettes consumed (never (0/day), mild (< 10/day), moderate (10-19/day) or heavy (≧ 20/day)) and age-adjusted BMI. In subgroups of 3430 males and 2407 females, the predictive risk score of CVD from the Hisayama study except for the smoking item was calculated and compared among groups with different smoking habits. Results: In the analysis of the association between smoking and BMI, age-adjusted BMI was significantly higher in heavy smokers than never, mild, or moderate smokers in males ( Conclusions: Smoking status or the number of cigarettes was associated with age-adjusted BMI or CVD risk factors in Japanese males.
