Anthropometric Measurements to Predict Metabolic Syndrome in Thai Women With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: A Retrospective Study.
Article in The journal of obstetrics and gynaecology research, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
aimTo compare the diagnostic accuracy of seven anthropometric indices for predicting metabolic syndrome (MetS) in Thai women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
methodsElectronic medical records of 1492 women aged 15-45 years who attended Siriraj Hospital during 2015-2024 were retrospectively analyzed. MetS was diagnosed using the International Diabetes Federation 2006 criteria. The indices assessed were a body shape index (ABSI), abdominal volume index (AVI), body adiposity index (BAI), body mass index (BMI), body roundness index (BRI), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), and waist-to-height ratio (WHtR). Discrimination was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis with area under the curve (AUC) and 95% CI. Optimal cut-offs were identified using the Youden index.
resultsMetabolic syndrome prevalence was 20.8%. AVI, BMI, BRI, and WHtR showed comparable discrimination (AUC 0.84-0.85) and outperformed BAI (AUC 0.79), WHR (AUC 0.78), and ABSI (AUC 0.52). A composite of AVI, BRI, and WHtR did not improve discrimination. A BMI threshold of 25.78 kg/m
conclusionsBMI and waist-centered indices demonstrate comparable performance for predicting MetS in Thai women with PCOS. BMI provides the highest overall accuracy and, together with WHtR, can serve as practical first-line triage tools.
