Cardiovascular autonomic and peripheral sensory neuropathy in women with obesity.
Article in Frontiers in endocrinology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Introduction: A higher incidence of neural dysfunction in people with obesity has been described. We determined the prevalence of neuropathic lesions in obese women and evaluated their potential association with anthropometric and laboratory parameters. Patients and methods: In our cross-sectional study, we enrolled female patients with obesity and without diabetes before obesity treatment. Voluntary female subjects were controls with a normal body mass index (BMI). Autonomic function was assessed by Ewing's cardiovascular reflex tests, while comprehensive peripheral neuropathic assessments were conducted utilizing the Neurometer®, Tiptherm®, Monofilament®, and Rydel-Seiffer tuning fork tests. Sudomotor function was assessed by the Neuropad®-test. Body composition was examined using the InBody 770. Results: 71 patients (mean ± SD; age: 36.1 ± 8.3 years; BMI: 40.2 ± 8.5 kg/m Conclusion: Peripheral sensory neuronal and sudomotor function impairments were detected in female patients with obesity compared to the controls with normal BMI. Cardiovascular autonomic dysfunction was also revealed by the Valsalva-ratio in these patients, suggesting the presence of parasympathetic dysfunction. The negative correlation between BMI and the 25-hydroxy-D3/D2-vitamin highlights the potential deficiency of vitamin D in the population affected by obesity.
