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

Few studies have investigated the association between adiposity and risk of aortic dissection and data is lacking on adiposity measures other than body mass index (BMI). We analyzed the association between adiposity and risk of aortic dissection in the UK Biobank, and the Japan Specific Health Checkups (J-SHC) Study, and conducted a meta-analysis of cohort studies to clarify the associations between adiposity and risk of aortic dissection. The analytical cohorts included 496,255 participants in the UK Biobank and 630,841 participants in the J-SHC Study. Multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to analyze associations between adiposity and risk of aortic dissection. PubMed and Embase were searched for relevant studies up to February 27, 2026. Random effects models were used to calculate summary relative risks (RRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for the association between adiposity and risk of aortic dissection. In the UK Biobank and J-SHC, there were 371 and 105 aortic dissections during 12.3 and 4 years follow-up, respectively. In the UK Biobank, positive associations (HRs, 95% CIs) were observed between high BMI (1.54, 1.01-2.37, p
