Neck circumference associated with arterial blood pressures and hypertension: A cross-sectional community-based study in northern Han Chinese.
Article in Scientific reports, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 papers.
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
Although several studies have investigated the associations of neck circumference (NC) with arterial blood pressures (BPs) and hypertension, no such studies have been conducted among Northern Chinese population. Between April and June 2015, a total of 2631 subjects aged ≥35 years old were recruited from Northeastern China. NC and arterial BPs were measured by trained personnel. Generalized linear and logistic regression analyses were applied to examine the associations of NC with arterial BPs and hypertension risk. The optimal cut-off points of NC for predicting hypertension were assessed by the receiver operating characteristic analysis. We found that NC was significantly associated with arterial BPs and hypertension risk in the Northeastern Chinese adults, even after adjusting for many covariates including body mass index, waist circumference or waist-to-hip ratio. The optimal cut-off values for NC to predict hypertension differed with sex, age, and body mass index. Our study suggests that NC may play an independent role in predicting hypertension beyond the classical anthropometric indices, and that it could be used as a valuable anthropometric measurement for routine assessment in primary care clinics and future epidemiological studies.
