Obesity and cardiovascular risk factors among internists in Indonesia.
Article in Frontiers in endocrinology, 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: Obesity constitutes a significant global health concern, including in Indonesia, through increased risk of non-communicable diseases. Physicians, as healthcare providers, are not exempt from the impact of obesity toward general health, quality of life, and work performance. Among physicians, internists are particularly significant, as they assume primary responsibility for the management of obesity, thus the primary focus in this study. Obesity in internists is related to modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors. Therefore, identification of prevalence and risk factors of obesity in internists may aid in the improvement of their health through risk factor modification. Methods: A multicenter randomized cross-sectional study with a total sample of 1,064 internists across Indonesia is conducted to identify obesity profile and risk factors. Data were collected through questionnaire, physical examination, and biochemical testing and were analyzed using descriptive, bivariate, and multivariate analyses. Results: The prevalence of obesity in Indonesian internists is 61.4%, higher than the general population. Risk factors associated with obesity in Indonesian internists after adjusting for confounding factors were male gender (aOR 1.43, 95% CI 1.08-1.90), hypertension (aOR 1.88, 95% CI 1.26-2.79), history of diabetes mellitus (aOR 2.93, 95% CI 1.53-5.60), newly diagnosed diabetes mellitus (aOR 2.41, 95% CI 1.22-4.77), newly diagnosed prediabetes (aOR 1.70, 95% CI 1.26-2.30), and inadequate physical activity (aOR 1.85, 95% 1.15-2.98). Conclusion: Internists are a special population differing in prevalence of obesity and its related risk factors compared with the general population, due to high professional demand impacting healthy lifestyle and behavior.
