Association of Obesity Severity With Cardiometabolic and Renal Disease Burden in the United States.
Article in Obesity (Silver Spring, Md.), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
objectiveThis study examined the association between obesity severity and cardiometabolic and renal disease, using BMI as a surrogate for obesity severity.
methodsThis is a cross-sectional study using data from the United States Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS), 2011-2023. Survey-weighted logistic regression estimated odds ratios (OR) for the diagnosis of diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, kidney disease, myocardial infarction, stroke, and coronary artery disease among increasing BMI categories.
resultsHigher BMI was associated with increased odds of all conditions. For BMI ≥ 50 kg/m
conclusionsObesity severity is incrementally associated with cardiometabolic and renal disease burden, particularly among adults with BMI ≥ 50 kg/m
