Exploring anthropometric, biochemistry and nutritional attributes in overweight and obese women: Insights from the Serbian cohort: A pilot study.
Article in Journal of medical biochemistry, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: Anthropometric measurements (AMs), such as waist circumference and body mass index (BMI), are dominant indicators of overweight and obesity. Nevertheless, other AMs, such as waist-hip ratio, waist circumference and indices of visceral adiposity index (VAI), body mass fat index (BMFI), cardiometabolic index (CMI) and waist-to-height ratio (WtHR) are more significant and discriminatory than BMI in predicting cardiometabolic risk. Methods: This pilot study aimed to comprehensively investigate the anthropometric, biochemical and nutritional characteristics of a sample of overweight and obese women in Serbia, focusing on potential differences related to AM and its association with specific biochemical markers. Results: The final analytical sample consisted of 57 females (average age 37.16±7.27 years, range: 21-55 years). A strong positive correlation was observed between triglycerides (TG) and both the VAI (r=0.896, p<0.001) and the CMI (r=0.896, p<0.001), both with high statistical significance. Conversely, a strong negative correlation was found between high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDLc) and both VAI (r=-0.601, p<0.001) and CMI (r=-0.566, p<0.001). Systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) were significantly positively correlated with both WtHR and BMFI: SBP and WtHR (r=0.343, p=0.009), SBP and BMFI (r=0.310, p=0.019), DBP and WtHR (r=0.368, p=0.005), and DBP and BMFI (r=0.377, p=0.004). The analysis of biochemical parameters indicated no significant differences between groups, except for TG levels, which were significantly higher in the obese group (p=0.045). Conclusions: Although the AMs of the subjects were significantly different, energy intake and macronutrient intake were not significantly different. We did not find significant differences in the intake of most vitamins or minerals between the groups. Additionally, there is inadequate intake of essential nutrients such as vitamin D, iron and selenium, which are critical for overall health. Both groups did not meet the recommended folate intake, which may increase the risk of fetal neural tube defects.
