Associations of Fitness, Fatness Indices and Fit-Fat Index Variants With Cardiovascular and All-Cause Mortality in Men.
Article in Obesity science & practice, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Background: Fit-Fat Index (FFI), defined as the ratio of cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) to waist-to-height ratio (WHtR), combines measures of fitness and fatness, and may offer a more accurate assessment of cardiometabolic risk than either component alone. The prospective associations of CRF, fatness indices, and mortality were examined. Methods: CRF and fatness indices (body mass index [BMI], waist-to-hip ratio [WHR], and WHtR) were assessed in 1089 men aged 42-61 years. FFI variants (FFI Results: Over a median follow-up of 31.2 years, 288 CVD deaths and 695 all-cause deaths were recorded. After multivariable adjustment, the HR (95% CI) for CVD death per 1 SD increase was 0.81 (0.70-0.93) for CRF, 1.09 (0.96-1.23) for BMI, 1.13 (1.02-1.25) for WHR, 1.13 (0.99-1.30) for WHtR, 0.82 (0.71-0.95) for FFI Conclusions: Combining aerobic fitness and fatness into FFI measures may provide better risk stratification than either aerobic fitness or fatness alone.
