1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between visceral adiposity index (VAI) and lipid accumulation products (LAP) and frailty index (FI) in older Americans. Based on data from the 2007-2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), the study population consisted of 3,396 older adults aged 60 years and older with a mean age of 69.48 ± 6.76 years. The findings of weighted multivariate regression analysis demonstrated a strong correlation between the prevalence of frailty prevalence and greater VAI and LAP. In the fully adjusted model, the association of VAI with frailty remained significant, with an OR of 1.49 (95% CI: 1.26, 1.77;
