The ability of anthropometric indices in detecting type 2 diabetes mellitus in Sudanese adults: a cross-sectional study.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a growing global health problem. We aimed to evaluate the ability of body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), and waist-height ratio (WHtR) to detect type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) among adults in Northern Sudan. A multi-stage sampling survey was conducted in Northern Sudan. The information was obtained on the sociodemographic and anthropometric indices (BMI, WC, and WHtR). A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and a multivariate binary analysis were performed. Among the 396 adults included in the study, 201 (50.8%) were male, and 195 (49.2%) were female. The median (interquartile, IQR) for age, BMI, WC, and WHtR were 45.0 (33.3‒55.8) years, 26.5(22.5‒30.5) kg/m
