From BMI to TMI: revisiting adiposity and fitness assessment in young active adults through a historical and contemporary lens.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 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: Traditional reliance on body mass index (BMI) to assess adiposity may misclassify physically active individuals with high lean mass. The triponderal mass index (TMI) has emerged as a potentially more accurate alternative, but evidence in physically active populations is limited. Purpose: To examine the associations of TMI and BMI with bioimpedance-derived adiposity and selected hematological markers in physically active young adults. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, ( Results: TMI showed a stronger positive correlation with body fat percentage than BMI ( Conclusion: In physically active young adults, TMI relates more strongly than BMI to bioimpedance-derived adiposity and may aid field-based screening. However, athlete-level decisions should await confirmation in sport-specific, longitudinal studies using criterion methods.
