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

ObjectiveTo evaluate how body mass index, waist circumference, waist-to-hip ratio, and waist-to-height ratio reflect visceral adipose tissue as measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry and how these associations differ by sex and age in a Qatari adult population.MethodsIn this cross-sectional study of 5897 Qatari adults aged 18-88 years from the Qatar BioBank, we assessed the correlation between anthropometric indices and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry-derived visceral adipose tissue percentage. Analyses included sex-stratified Spearman's correlations and linear regression models adjusted for age. Model performance was assessed using standardized beta coefficients,
