Body mass index (BMI) associates with frequency of arterial hypertension and type 2 diabetes in obese patients candidates for bariatric surgery.

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
backgroundArterial Hypertension (AH) and Type 2 Diabetes (T2DM) are common in obesity. However, there is no data on the influence of different degrees of obesity on the frequency of the two diseases. PATIENTS AND
methodsIn this cross-sectional study 3,486 patients (867 men and 2,619 women, aged 42.6 ± 11.48 years, minimum BMI 30.0 kg/m
resultsAH, T2DM and CS showed increasing frequency with increasing BMI quartiles (p < 0.001), and with age (p < 0.001). AH and T2DM were frequently associated. At multivariable analysis, age and BMIQ were associated with AH (p < 0.001), T2DM (p < 0.001), and with CS (p < 0.001), more than BMI (NS for CS) full obesity class and reduced obesity class and BMI (NS for T2DM and for CS). The same results were observed at receiver operating curves (ROC), with greater area (AUC) for BMIQ than for BMI and obesity classes.
conclusionThe frequency of AH and T2DM increases with increasing BMI levels. BMIQ outperforms BMI and obesity classes in modelling. This finding supports the use of fine stratification of BMI in clinical risk assessment. More specific studies are required to fully understand the impact of different BMI thresholds in determining the health status of obese patients, and to reduce the risks of BS in patients with extreme obesity.
