Impact of obesity on arterial health among young adults: A bioelectrical impedance study.
Article in Bioinformation, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The relationship between obesity and early arterial stiffness in young adults remains inadequately understood despite the increasing prevalence of obesity-related cardiovascular risk. Therefore, it is of interest to investigate 132 healthy individuals aged 18-25 years to assess the relationship between obesity and arterial stiffness markers (PWV, Ao-PP, AIx) using bioelectrical impedance and oscillometric pulse wave analysis. Obese participants showed significantly higher Ao-PP and AIx (p < 0.05), while carotid-femoral PWV showed no significant difference. BMI had weak associations with arterial stiffness, whereas body fat percentage correlated significantly with Ao-PP and AIx. Thus, obesity in young adults is associated with early functional vascular changes, with body composition measures providing better early risk indicators than BMI.
