Beyond Boundaries: A Comprehensive Review of Anthropometric Indices in Urban and Rural India.
Review in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
This comprehensive review examines anthropometric indices in the context of urban and rural India, shedding light on the dynamic interplay between lifestyle, socio-economic factors, and environmental influences on health outcomes. Analyzing indicators such as Body Mass Index (BMI), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), and mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC), the study reveals distinct disparities between urban and rural populations. While rural areas face the challenges of undernutrition and stunting, urban environments grapple with the escalating prevalence of obesity and non-communicable diseases. The implications for public health underscore the need for tailored interventions, encompassing nutritional education, equitable healthcare access, and lifestyle interventions. The call-to-action advocates for collaborative efforts among policymakers, healthcare professionals, researchers, and communities to implement evidence-based strategies, advocate for policy reforms, and continually monitor anthropometric trends. This review serves as a roadmap for fostering healthier communities in India by addressing anthropometric disparities and steering toward a more equitable and sustainable future.
