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

Objective: Metabolic phenotypes are linked to various metabolic diseases, but current classification methods have limitations. This study aims to directly cluster obese populations based on body composition and machine learning, enhancing understanding of lipid metabolism and disease associations. Methods: A retrospective analysis included participants who underwent InBody examinations at Taikang Xianlin Drum Tower Hospital in 2023. Subjects were categorized into four phenotypes: MHNW, MHO, MUNW, and MUO, based on BMI and metabolic syndrome criteria. Correlations between InBody indexes and clinical data were analyzed. Machine learning cluster analysis identified subgroupings, and associations with metabolic diseases were examined. Results: InBody indexes correlated strongly with medical history and lab results. Clustering classified males into two groups and females into three, with significant differences in age, weight, height, BMI, and InBody scores (all Conclusion: The InBody-based clustering analysis showed males could be categorized into 2 subgroups while females could be classified into 3 subgroups, indicating that the population with a specific InBody clustering profile could be at higher risk of metabolic diseases.
