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: Anthropometric measurements are considered a applicable and cost-effective indicator in primary healthcare settings for identifying the risk of obesity and related chronic diseases. This study aimed to elucidate the association between hypertriglyceridemia and neck circumference in adults. Methods: The participants diagnosed with hypertriglyceridemia (HTG) ( Results: The case group exhibited significantly higher anthropometric indices (body mass index, NC, waist circumference, and hip circumference) as well as higher age, fasting blood glucose, HbA1c, uric acid, hematocrit, hemoglobin, white blood cell count (WBC), low density lipid cholesterol, and triglyceride (TG) compared to the control group ( Conclusion: NC is closely associated with hypertriglyceridaemia in adults, while BMI, waist and hip circumference demonstrated a moderate positive correlation. Furthermore, a positive correlation with LDL-c and a negative correlation with HDL were also observed. What is already known about this topic? Anthropometric indices are simpleand low-cost quantitative measurements well positioned in primary health care, as they facilitate the early diagnosis of cardiometabolic diseases.Neck circumference is a simple, cost-effective and time-saving method to ascertain upper body obesity.Numerous studies have focused on the association between BMI, simple antropometric measurements and hypertension, or metabolic syndrome. However, there is little research investigating the primary effect of high triglycerides. However, few studies have investigated the primary effects of high triglyceride concentrations. 2.What this paper adds: This study demostrated an association between NC and non-HDL cholesterol levels esp. tryglicerid in adults. The study is expected to encourage clinicians using this cost-effective and easily applicable measurement method in clinical practice and to contribute to further research in this area.3.The implications of this paper: Health expenditure in developing countries should be used wisely, exam-based measurements should be preferred for less cost and efficiency focusing on prevention. Rather than frequent blood tests, primary health care services should promote easy body area measurements like neck circumference.
