Association between relative fat mass and risk of arthritis: a study based on populations in China and the United States.

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
This study examined the association between relative fat mass (RFM) and the prevalence of arthritis in two distinct populations: one from China and the other from the United States. The findings indicated a non-linear relationship between RFM and the development of arthritis. A robust positive correlation was identified in the US male population, while no such correlation was observed in the Chinese male population. In the American female population, a non-linear correlation was observed between RFM and arthritis, with elevated RFM below the threshold of 35.85 exhibiting a modest decrease in the risk of arthritis, and elevated RFM above the threshold demonstrating a substantial increase in the risk of arthritis. A similar trend was observed in Chinese women; however, the protective effect was not significant below the threshold (
