Central obesity as assessed by conicity index and a-body shape index associates with cardiovascular risk factors and mortality in kidney failure patients.
Article in Frontiers in nutrition, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 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
Background: Anthropometric indices of central obesity, waist circumference (WC), conicity index (CI), and a-body shape index (ABSI), are prognostic indicators of cardiovascular (CV) risk. The association of CI and ABSI with other CV risk indices, markers of nutritional status and inflammation, and clinical outcomes in chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage 5 (CKD5) patients was investigated. Methods: In a cross-sectional study with longitudinal follow up of 203 clinically stable patients with CKD5 (median age 56 years; 68% males, 17% diabetics, 22% with CV disease, and 39% malnourished), we investigated CI and ABSI and their associations with atherogenic index of plasma (AIP), Framingham CV risk score (FRS), Agatston scoring of coronary artery calcium (CAC) and aortic valve calcium (AVC), handgrip strength (HGS), high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) and interleukin-6 (IL-6). CV events (CVE) and all-cause mortality during up to 10-years follow up were analyzed by multivariate survival analysis of restricted mean survival time (RMST). Results: Chronic kidney disease patients with middle and highest CI and ABSI tertiles (indicating greater abdominal fat deposition), compared to those with the lowest CI and ABSI tertiles, tended to be older, more often men and diabetic, had significantly higher levels of hsCRP, IL-6, AIP, FRS, CAC and AVC scores. CI and ABSI were positively correlated with CAC, FRS, AIP, hsCRP and IL-6. Both CI and ABSI were negatively correlated with HGS. In age-weighted survival analysis, higher CI and ABSI were associated with higher risk of CVE (Wald test = 4.92, Conclusion: Abdominal fat deposit indices, CI and ABSI, predicted CV outcomes and all-cause mortality, and were significantly associated with the inflammatory status in CKD patients.
