Anthropometric measures and incidence of obesity-related cancers in the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos Onco-SOL ancillary study.

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
backgroundObesity is highly prevalent among Hispanic and Latino adults and is an established risk factor for 13 cancers; however, studies focused on Hispanic and Latino adults are limited. We examined 6 anthropometric measures in association with incidence of obesity-related cancers among Hispanic and Latino adults, overall and by sex, age, and heritage.
methodsWe included 16 415 Hispanic and Latino adults from the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos. Baseline (2008-2011) anthropometric measures included body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, waist-to-height ratio, waist-to-hip ratio, fat mass index, and percent body fat. The incidence of 13 obesity-related cancers was ascertained through linkages with 4 state cancer registries (n = 330 incident obesity-related cancer diagnosed over a mean follow-up of 10.7 years). Survey-weighted Cox models estimated covariate-adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for the associations between each anthropometric measure and latent class analysis-derived groups and obesity-related cancer risk.
resultsHazard ratios were elevated among adults with the highest levels of anthropometric measures and more so among women than among men. For example, a BMI of at least 30 (vs <25) kg/m2 was associated with an adjusted hazard ratio of 1.42 (95% CI = 0.88 to 2.30) overall and adjusted hazard ratios of 2.22 (95% CI = 1.18 to 4.16) in women and 0.46 (95% CI = 0.20 to 1.02) in men. Adjusted hazard ratios also varied by Hispanic and Latino heritage. For example, a 1-standard deviation increase in BMI was associated with a 63% (HR = 1.63, 95% CI = 1.10 to 2.41) increase in obesity-related cancer risk among South American adults but not among Central American adults (HR = 1.03, 95% CI = 0.53 to 2.00).
conclusionsMultiple anthropometric measures were positively associated with obesity-related cancer risk, particularly among women. Efforts to reduce obesity may be important for cancer prevention in Hispanic and Latino adults.
