Elevated visceral adiposity index is associated with increased stroke prevalence and earlier age at first stroke onset: Based on a national cross-sectional study.

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
Objective: The purpose of this study was to examine the association between the VAI (visceral adiposity index) and stroke prevalence and age at stroke in US adults. Methods: We examined the association between VAI and stroke prevalence and age at stroke using logistic regression, subgroup analysis, and dose-response curves using participants from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) database from 2007-2018. Results: This study ultimately included 29,337 participants aged >20 years, of whom 1022 self-reported a history of stroke, and after adjusting for all confounders, each unit increase in corrected VAI was associated with a 12% increase in the prevalence of stroke (OR= 1.12, 95% CI: 1.01, 1.24) along with an earlier age at stroke 1.64 years (β= -1.64, 95% CI: -2.84, -0.45), stratified analysis showed that the prevalence of stroke was 20% higher in the female group (OR= 1.20, 95% CI: 1.04, 1.39), black group (OR= 1.22, 95% CI: 1.01, 1.48), age ≤60 years group (OR= 1.25, 95% CI: 1.05, 1.48), hypertensive group (OR=1.15, 95% CI:1.01, 1.31), and diabetic group (OR=1.23, 95% CI:1.02, 1.48) VAI increase was positively correlated with stroke prevalence increase. The dose-response curves showed a positive linear correlation between increased VAI and stroke prevalence, while a negative linear correlation was observed between increased VAI and age at stroke. Conclusion: Although a causal relationship cannot be proven, higher VAI was positively associated with stroke prevalence and can lead to earlier stroke onset.
