Association of obesity- and insulin resistance-related indices with subclinical carotid atherosclerosis in type 1 diabetes: a cross-sectional study.
Article in Cardiovascular diabetology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
backgroundObesity and insulin resistance are well-established risk factors for atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease (CVD). Although some obesity- and insulin resistance-related indices (OIRIs) have been linked to CVD, their associations with subclinical carotid atherosclerosis (SCA) in individuals with type 1 diabetes (T1D) remain unclear. This study aims to systematically explore and compare the associations of various common OIRIs with SCA in T1D population.
methodsA total of 418 adult inpatients with classic T1D admitted from October 2008 to June 2021 to the First Affiliated Hospital of Air Force Medical University in Xi'an, China were included in this study. Demographic, anthropometric, and laboratory data were collected. Studied OIRIs comprised body mass index, waist-to-height ratio, waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), a body shape index, abdominal volume index, body adiposity index, body roundness index, conicity index, triglyceride-glucose index, visceral adiposity index, Chinese visceral adiposity index (CVAI), lipid accumulation product, estimated glucose disposal rate (eGDR), triglyceride-to-HDL ratio, and cardiometabolic index. Binary logistic regression, restricted cubic spline (RCS), and receiver operating characteristic curves were used to examine the associations of these indices with SCA.
resultsIn multivariable logistic regression analyses, after adjusting for potential confounders, per 1.0-standard deviation (SD) increase in CVAI (OR, 95% CI: 1.68, 1.16-2.47), eGDR
conclusionAmong various OIRIs, CVAI shows the strongest association with SCA in adults with T1D. These findings suggest that CVAI may merit further longitudinal investigation as a potential marker for SCA assessment in this population.
