Association Between Blood Glucose and Body Mass Index With Dietary Diversity and Physical Activity: A Cross-Sectional Study on Marma Tribes of Bandarban in Bangladesh.
Article in Health science reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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: The increase in overweight and obesity cannot be exclusively ascribed to environmental or lifestyle factors, since a substantial proportion of this phenomenon is impacted by genetic and racial factors. This study investigated the link between body mass index (BMI) and fasting blood glucose (FBG) levels among Marma tribal community members in Bangladesh. Methodology: A cross-sectional study was carried out on the Marma tribe of the Bandarban using random sampling techniques to select the participants. A total of 208 (74 male and 134 female) respondents participated, and a standardized questionnaire was used to collect data. In addition to descriptive statistics, Result: This study reveals that 65.9% of the people belong to the 30-50 age group, followed by 28.8% of the 51-70 age group associated with BMI ( Conclusion: There is no significant association between BMI and blood glucose levels, but a positive correlation exists. The BMI tends to be greater among females. Future research could compare it with non-tribal groups and use the HbA1c approach for a more comprehensive evaluation.
