Association of Waist/Hip Ratio and Neck Circumference with Metabolic Disorders in Tribal Women: Insights from the BLOSSOM Study.
Article in Journal of pharmacy & bioallied sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: Anthropometric indicators, like waist/hip ratio (WHR) and neck circumference (NC), are emerging as important predictors of metabolic disorders, yet their role among tribal women remains understudied. Objective: To assess the association of WHR and NC with metabolic disorders, such as hypertension, dyslipidemia, and obesity, among tribal women in Maharashtra. Methods: A cross-sectional analytical study was conducted using data from the BLOSSOM cohort (2022-2023), covering tribal blocks in Nagpur, Gondia, Gadchiroli, and Chandrapur districts of Maharashtra. A total of 2,310 women aged ≥19 years were screened. Anthropometric data (WHR, NC), body mass index (BMI), blood pressure, and total cholesterol were recorded. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed using R Studio. Results: Hypertension prevalence was 29.35%, obesity 15.24%, and high cholesterol 14.33%. Higher WHR and NC were significantly associated with all three metabolic disorders ( Conclusion: NC is a simple and reliable anthropometric marker for metabolic risk among tribal women and may offer better predictive value than WHR. Its integration into routine screenings could enhance early detection in resource-limited settings.
