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
backgroundThe Android-to-Gynoid Lean Mass (LM) Ratio (AGLR) reflects the distribution of body LM and may influence the risk of advanced Cardiovascular-Kidney-Metabolic (CKM) syndrome. However, the extent to which Insulin Resistance (IR), as indicated by the estimated Glucose Disposal Rate (eGDR), explains the association between AGLR and advanced CKM syndrome remains unclear. This study aims to elucidate the relationship between AGLR and advanced CKM syndrome and to determine the contribution of eGDR to this association.
methods7,399 participants from the 2003‒2006 and 2011‒2018 cycles of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) were included in this cross-sectional study. The association between AGLR and advanced CKM syndrome was assessed using weighted Logistic Regression (LR) and subgroup analyses. The potential relationship was further examined using Restricted Cubic Splines (RCS). Sensitivity analyses were conducted to evaluate the robustness of the findings. Cross-sectional decomposition analysis was performed to quantify the contribution of eGDR to the observed associations.
resultsHigher AGLR was associated with stage 4 of CKM syndrome (OR = 1.83, 95% CI: 1.34‒2.50, p < 0.001). For stage 3, the overall trend across quartiles was not significant, indicating a less robust association. Reverse causality cannot be excluded. RCS analysis revealed a positive linear relation (p for nonlinear = 0.681). Subgroup analyses suggested that interactions were statistically insignificant across subgroups. Cross-sectional decomposition analysis showed that eGDR statistically accounted for 33.71% of the association. Notably, given shared components and the cross-sectional design, this should not be interpreted as causal mediation.
conclusionLM distribution is relevant to CKM syndrome progression. IR, as reflected by eGDR, may represent a key underlying pathological mechanism.
