Clinical value of the new obesity definition for cardiovascular events in a Middle Eastern population: the TLGS.

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: We assessed the sex-stratified association of the newly proposed Methods: We analyzed 9429 Tehran Lipid and Glucose Study (TLGS) participants to assess obesity prevalence, and 7781 participants (mean age 46.8 years) were included in the longitudinal analysis for incidence of first CVD. Cox proportional hazards models estimated hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for associations of the new obesity definition and obesity phenotypes (i.e., anthropometric-only and BMI-plus-anthropometric obesity) with incident total CVD and CVD mortality. Results: Obesity prevalence was 67.2% (65.1% in men vs. 69.0% in women) under the new definition, compared with 26.3% (15.6%vs. 35.3%) under the traditional definition. Over a median follow-up of 19.9 years, 1450 participants developed CVD, and 344 died from CVD. Obesity showed stronger associations with CVD and CVD mortality in women than in men ( Conclusions: The new definition substantially increased obesity prevalence and showed that anthropometric-only obesity carries excess CVD risk, especially among women.
