Significant interplay of BMI and Anthropometric Profile on Gender-Specific Health Indicators.

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
Objectives: To investigate gender-based relationships among BMI, arm/chest circumference, and their influence on heart rate (HR), BP, and fasting blood sugar (FBS). Methods: A descriptive-analytical study was conducted with 157 participants aged 18-28 at the University of Lahore after institutional ethical approval (REG/GRT/22/AHS-129) from December 2022 to April 2023. Arm/chest circumference was measured. BMI was calculated. Standard protocols were followed to measure BP and HR. FBS was assessed through biochemical testing. A t-test and ANOVA were used to compare variables. For associations, the Pearson correlation was used. Results: Significant differences were noted among all categories of BMI, HR, systolic-BP, and FBS. Females had a BMI 14.9% lower than males in overweight/obese (p=0.021). In the normal-HR category, females showed rates 5.82% lower than males (p=0.0002), while in the normal-BP category, females comprised 83.83% compared to 16.16% for males (p=0.027). Males had an FBS 3.79% higher than females in elevated-FBS (p=0.039) despite 70% of those affected being female. A positive correlation between FBS and HR was found in borderline and normal FBS. Being overweight/obese was positively associated with systolic-BP (p=0.006), diastolic-BP (p=0.011), arm-circumference (p=0.040), and chest circumference (p=0.018). Conclusion: Overweight/obese females had a lower BMI but higher FBS than males, who had higher HR and BP. FBS is positively associated with HR in borderline and normal FBS categories. BMI significantly influenced arm/chest size, BP, and FBS. All overweight/obese females expressed a positive association with BP as well as arm and a negative association with HR.
