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

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) represent a leading global health burden, with risk factors often emerging during college years. Traditional assessment methods like Body Mass Index (BMI) have significant limitations in predicting health outcomes. This study evaluated the relationship between Fitness-Fatness Index (FFI) and cardiovascular outcomes in college-aged students compared to traditional measures. A correlational-predictive non-experimental survey was conducted with 218 healthy, non-smoking young adults (109 male, 109 female; age 20.8±2.9 years). Participants underwent comprehensive anthropometric assessments, body composition analysis, aerobic fitness tests, and cardiovascular measurements, including brachial/central blood pressure and arterial stiffness parameters. Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that metabolic equivalents (METS) were the strongest predictor of arterial stiffness parameters, with the highest beta coefficients for augmentation pressure (β=-0.407,
