Visceral Fat As The Main Obesity Index That Determines The Occurrence of Adipose Tissue Insulin Resistance.
Article in EJIFCC, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Background: Insulin resistance may occur in various organs, including adipose tissue, which causes increased lipolysis and blood free fatty acids (FFA). Insulin resistance in adipose tissue is commonly assessed using the Adipose Tissue Insulin Resistance (Adipo-IR) index, calculated using fasting insulin and FFA levels. This study aimed to evaluate which obesity index has the best predictive value to determine Adipo-IR. Methods: This cross-sectional study is conducted on 80 non-diabetic adult subjects. Measurements and assessments of the relationship between obesity indices and Adipo-IR values were performed. Results: Waist circumference (r = 0.275, p = 0.013), BMI (r = 0.318, p = 0.004), visceral fat (r = 0.334, p = 0.002), and body fat percentage (r = 0.246, p = 0.028) were all significantly correlated with Adipo-IR. The area under the curve (AUC) showed that visceral fat had the most significant predictive value of insulin resistance in adipose tissue compared to BMI, waist circumference, and body fat (AUC = 0.690 vs 0.663 vs 0.620 vs 0.570). Subjects with visceral fat values in the fourth quartile had a 6-fold risk of experiencing insulin resistance in adipose tissue compared to subjects in quartile 1 (OR = 6, p = 0.014, 95% CI 1.324-27.191). Conclusions: The Adipo-IR index increases with the value of the obesity index. Visceral fat has the highest predictive value in determining the occurrence of adipose tissue insulin resistance.
