Association between cardiometabolic index and hypertension among US adults from NHANES 1999-2020.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
Hypertension, a major global health issue and leading cause of death, is often under-assessed by traditional metrics like Body Mass Index which fail to capture comprehensive cardiovascular risks associated with obesity. The Cardiometabolic Index (CMI), which evaluates abdominal obesity and dyslipidemia, offers a more accurate assessment of visceral fat and metabolic dysfunction. In this study, we analyzed data from 45,250 participants from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey spanning 1999 to 2020. Using multivariable logistic regression, we explored the association between CMI and hypertension, employing Restricted Cubic Spline analysis to assess non-linear relationships and two-piecewise linear regression to identify threshold effects. Subgroup analyses confirmed the consistency of our findings across various demographic and clinical characteristics. Findings confirmed that hypertensive participants exhibited significantly higher CMI levels (median 0.46 vs. 0.73), with adjusted logistic regression showing a notable association between increased CMI and hypertension prevalence (OR 1.30, 95% CI 1.25-1.35, P < 0.01), characterized by a nonlinear L-shaped curve with a critical threshold identified at a CMI value of 1.37. Subgroup analysis revealed a more pronounced impact of CMI on hypertension in females. These results underscore CMI's potential to enhance cardiovascular risk assessment across diverse U.S. populations.
