1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundIn this study, we aimed to evaluate the relationship between the body mass index (BMI) of participants in their 20s (20s_BMI) and the risk of developing various chronic metabolic diseases when they were over the age of 65 years. We also investigated how quickly these values worsened after 65 years of age.

methodsThis 8-year prospective cohort study targeted elderly people aged 65 years or older with three healthcare visits at 3-4 to year intervals. Participants were divided into four groups according to their 20s_BMI and the occurrence and changes in body weight and fatty liver were observed for approximately 8 years.

resultsA total of 1,130 people aged 65 years or older were included. In the 65-69 years age group, as the 20s_BMI increased, weight, BMI, waist circumference, and hip circumference all significantly increased (all

conclusionWe found that a high 20s_BMI continued to be high even after the age of 65 years and had a negative impact on the occurrence and worsening of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease. This suggests that weight management starting in the 20s is important to prevent the progression of chronic diseases after the age of 65 years.
