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

objectiveStudies on the effects of obesity on mortality have contradictory findings, and few studies have focused on the relationship between the combined effect of body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC) and the range of specific causes of death. We aimed to investigate the association between BMI, WC, or both and all-cause and cause-specific mortality among adults in China.

methodsThis prospective cohort study was performed in Songjiang District, Shanghai, and included 35,787 participants aged 20-74 years. Questionnaire interviews, anthropometric measurements, and laboratory assays were conducted to collect baseline data. BMI (kg/m

resultsDuring a median of 7.16 years of follow-up, 1250 deaths were recorded. Underweight was negatively associated with mortality. A BMI in the range of 24.0-31.9 kg/m

conclusionMaintaining a relatively high BMI of 24.0-27.9 kg/m
