Obesity as a modifiable determinant of chronic venous disease prevalence: Insights from a cross-sectional study in Brazilian patients at a university hospital.

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
Chronic venous disease (CVD) of the lower extremities constitutes a progressive clinical entity that compromises venous hemodynamics, leading to structural and functional alterations predominantly due to venous reflux. With an estimated global prevalence of approximately 60%, CVD exerts a substantial negative impact on quality of life. Historically dismissed as merely aesthetic, the condition is now recognized for its symptomatic burden, which can considerably impair daily functioning and well-being.ObjectiveTo describe the epidemiological and clinical profile of patients with CVD treated at a university hospital and to identify demographic, clinical, and behavioral factors associated with disease severity according to the Clinical-Etiology-Anatomy-Pathophysiology (CEAP) classification.MethodsA cross-sectional prospective study was conducted with 674 patients evaluated with CVD at the Angiology Teaching and Clinical Care Unit of Pedro Ernesto University Hospital. Demographic, clinical, and behavioral data were analyzed according to the CEAP classification using ordinal logistic regression to identify factors associated with disease severity.ResultsA predominance of female patients (78.9%) was observed, with a mean age of 56.5 years. The most frequently reported symptoms were leg pain (reported by 80.7% of patients), lower-limb edema (68.7%), and burning sensation (63.8%). Higher Body Mass Index (BMI) was significantly associated with advanced CEAP stages (
