1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Some studies suggest that body fat distribution differs between sexes; there remains a gap regarding the exact mechanisms that regulate these differences and their cardiometabolic consequences. This study investigated sex-specific differences influencing the concentration and metabolic risk associated with visceral abdominal adipose tissue (VAT) and subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT). This cross-sectional study includes outpatients from a university-affiliated public hospital. Consecutive patients aged ≥ 20 years were included in our sample. VAT and SAT were measured using ultrasound (the mean of three attempts). Intra- and interevaluator reproducibility was tested, demonstrating high reliability (> 0.90) for both VAT and SAT. Demographic (age, sex, and self-reported race), anthropometric, behavioral, and biochemical variables were assessed. A total of 253 patients were included. They had a mean age of 46.3 ± 11.6 years (64.4% females and 68.7% non-white). Although the mean total abdominal adipose tissue was similar between sexes (
