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
Background: Hypertension is a major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and is closely related to metabolic abnormalities. The cardiometabolic index (CMI) integrates lipid profiles and anthropometric indicators, reflecting overall cardiometabolic health. However, the CMI and blood pressure (BP) relationship is poorly understood. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the correlation between CMI and clinical BP and evaluate the potential of using this correlation as a cardiovascular risk indicator. Methods: National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) data from 2015 to 2018 were used to calculate the CMI based on the triglycerides to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio and the waist-to-height ratio. The relationship between CMI and systolic blood pressure (SBP)/diastolic blood pressure (DBP) was analyzed using multivariate regression, threshold effect analysis, and subgroup analysis. Results: In this study cohort of 4240 participants, CMI positively correlated with SBP and DBP. After adjusting for age, gender, and race, the partial correlation for SBP was 0.56 (95% CI: 0.19-0.93; Conclusions: This study found a significant positive correlation between the CMI and BP, with threshold effects supporting a non-linear relationship. The strong interaction between the CMI and gender for SBP suggests that the influence of the CMI on BP may be gender-dependent. These results highlight the importance of utilizing CMI in personalized cardiovascular risk stratification and underscore the relevance of considering patient factors such as gender in managing hypertension.
