A J-shaped link between body roundness index and albuminuria in U.S. adults: insights from NHANES 2005-2020.

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
backgroundThe relationship between Body Roundness Index (BRI) and albuminuria remains uncertain. This study examined the association between BRI, an innovative anthropometric metric, and albuminuria in a representative sample of adults.
methodsThis study used data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) spanning 2005 to 2020. BRI values were computed for 37,826 eligible participants. Urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR) values equal to or exceeding 30 mg/g were classified as albuminuria. Statistical analyses included weighted multivariable logistic regression models, two-piecewise linear regression models, smooth curve fittings, subgroup analyses, and interaction assessments.
resultsIn the fully adjusted model, the odds ratio (OR) for the relationship between BRI and albuminuria was 1.18 (95% CI: 1.12-1.24). Furthermore, a non-linear J-shaped relationship was observed with a turning point at a BRI value of 3.08. Subgroup analyses revealed a stronger association in males (OR: 1.31, 95% CI: 1.24-1.39) than in females (OR: 1.11, 95% CI: 1.05-1.18).
conclusionOur study identified a J-shaped relationship between BRI and albuminuria in adults.
