Long-term body mass index variability and the risk of cardiometabolic multimorbidity in middle-aged and older adults: Insights from two prospective cohorts.
Article in International journal of cardiology. Cardiovascular risk and prevention, 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: Body mass index (BMI) variability is considered to be associated with an increased risk of various diseases. However, the association between long-term BMI variability and cardiometabolic multimorbidity (CMM) remains elusive, especially in middle-aged and older adults. This study aimed to explore their relationship in two prospective cohorts. Methods: Data were analyzed from the UK Biobank and the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS). CMM was defined as the coexistence of two or three cardiometabolic diseases, including diabetes mellitus, coronary heart disease, and stroke. BMI measurements from three visits were utilized to assess BMI variability. Cox regression analysis was employed to estimate the relationship between BMI variability and CMM. Results: The incidence of CMM increased across increasing tertiles of BMI variability, particularly in overweight and obese individuals (all Conclusions: Higher BMI variability was significantly associated with an elevated risk of CMM in individuals with pre-existing overweight or obesity.
