Weight-adjusted waist index and its association with diabetic peripheral neuropathy in patients with type 2 diabetes: a cross-sectional study in coastal Zhejiang province.

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: To investigate the association between the weight-adjusted waist index (WWI) and the risk of diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and to evaluate its potential as an early screening tool. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted. Patients with T2DM who visited the National Metabolic Management Center (MMC) of Yuhuan Second People's Hospital between January 2024 and January 2026 were included. Based on sensory nerve conduction velocity results, patients were divided into a DPN group and a non-DPN group. Multivariable logistic regression was used to assess the relationship between WWI and DPN. Subgroup analysis and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis were performed to evaluate the discriminative ability of WWI. Results: A total of 5,646 patients were enrolled, including 1,554 (27.52%) with DPN. Compared with the lowest WWI quartile (Q1), the adjusted odds ratios (ORs) for Q2, Q3, and Q4 were 1.32 (95% CI: 1.08-1.62), 1.91 (95% CI: 1.56-2.33), and 3.64 (95% CI: 2.97-4.46), respectively ( Conclusion: WWI is an independently associated with for DPN in patients with T2DM. Its screening performance is superior to that of traditional BMI. WWI may serve as a potentially useful tool for DPN screening of DPN.
