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

Objective: To investigate the relation between obesity-related indices and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Methods: A total of 597 eligible elderly patients with T2D were included in this retrospective study. All patients were divided into MCI group and normal cognitive group based on neuropsychological assessment. Twelve obesity-related indices were calculated, including body mass index (BMI), waist-hip ratio (WHR), waist-to-height ratio (WHtR), lipid accumulation product (LAP), body roundness index (BRI), conicity index (CI), visceral adiposity index (VAI), body adiposity index (BAI), abdominal volume index (AVI), a body shape index (ABSI), triglyceride glucose (TyG) index and cardiometabolic index (CMI). Multivariate logistic regression analysis, tests for trend and restricted cubic splines were used to assess the relationships between the tests for trend and MCI in elderly patients with T2D. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and areas under the curves (AUC) were used to assess the performance and predictive ability of the obesity-related indices for identifying MCI in elderly patients with T2D. Results: Multivariate logistic regression showed that elevated BMI, WHR, WHtR, LAP, BRI, CI, VAI, AVI, TyG index, and CMI were associated with an increased risk of MCI in elderly T2D patients after adjusting for potential confounders (all Conclusion: Elevated obesity-related indices, particularly CMI, VAI, TyG index and LAP, which displayed the higher predictive power, were instrumental in forecasting and evaluating MCI in elderly T2D patients. These findings may provide clues for future studies exploring early diagnostic biomarkers and treatment of MCI in elderly T2D patients.
