Association between the Chinese Visceral Adiposity Index and the risk of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia: a national prospective cohort study.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
To investigate the relationship between the Chinese Visceral Adiposity Index (CVAI) and the risk of developing Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH). Using data from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS), we included 3,295 men aged 45 years and older. Multivariate logistic regression and restricted cubic spline models were employed to analyze the association between CVAI and the risk of BPH. During the 4-year follow-up period, 267 cases of BPH were identified. CVAI was positively associated with the risk of developing BPH (OR = 1.23, 95% CI: 1.07-1.42), with a significant dose-response relationship (P < 0.001). Stratified analysis showed that the effect of CVAI on BPH risk was consistent across various subgroups. There is a positive correlation between CVAI and the risk of developing BPH. Managing visceral fat content and maintaining a healthy fat distribution pattern may help reduce the risk of BPH.
