Article in International journal of obesity and related metabolic disorders : journal of the International Association for the Study of Obesity, 1999. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT02045290 (Metformin Therapy for Overweight Adolescents With Type 1 Diabetes), which is not on this map. Cited by 45 papers.

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.

Abstract

objectiveTo investigate whether the dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) was a better predictor of abdominal fat, measured by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at the level of L2-L3, than anthropometric measurements in non-obese men and non-obese women.

designObservational, cross sectional study. SUBJECTS: 34 healthy subjects (17 men and 17 women) aged 20-53 y with a body mass index (BMI) < 30 kg/m2. MEASUREMENTS: Fat distribution parameters including waist circumference and waist-to-hip ratio (WHR); intra abdominal fat (IAF) by MRI; and central abdominal fat (CAF) by DEXA.

resultsMeasurement of IAF by MRI, was highly correlated to the CAF measured by DEXA. In men, both waist circumference and WHR had similar correlation to IAF as DEXA. In women, waist circumference was less well correlated with IAF than DEXA, and the WHR had a weaker non significant correlation with IAF.

conclusionsIn non-obese men; DEXA, waist circumference and WHR can predict IAF equally well, while in non-obese women, DEXA is superior to waist circumference and much better than WHR.
