Body fat ratio as a novel predictor of complications and survival after rectal cancer surgery.
Article in Frontiers in nutrition, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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: The present study aimed to evaluate the association between body fat ratio (BFR), visceral fat area (VFA), body mass index (BMI) and visceral fat density (VFD) and assess their reliability in assessing risk of postoperative complications and survival status in patients with rectal cancer (RC). Materials and methods: The present study retrospectively included 460 patients who underwent surgical treatment for RC at the First Affiliated Hospital of Wannan Medical College (Yijishan Hospital of Wannan Medical College, Wuhu, China) between September 2018 and July 2021. BFR, VFA, BMI, and VFD were measured and basic information, clinical data, complications and survival were recorded. Results: Statistical analysis was performed to determine optimal BFR cut-off and evaluate group differences. BFR demonstrated a significant positive correlation with VFA ( Conclusion: BFR was associated with BMI, VFA, and VFD. A BFR threshold of 24.3 was correlated with decreased complications and enhanced long-term survival.
