Determination of the Optimal Cut-Off Point of Anthropometric Indices to Predict the Risk of Metabolic Syndrome in Iranian Adult Population With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: A Cross-Sectional-Analytical Study.

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
aimsMetabolic syndrome (MetS) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are two diseases that are related to each other and the presence of both can increase the risk of heart attack and death. The present study aimed to assess the efficacy of anthropometric indices in predicting the risk of MetS among T2DM patients in Iran. MATERIALS AND
methodsIn this study, 400 T2DM subjects were included via convenience sampling. Some anthropometric information, such as weight, height, waist circumference, and hip circumference along with biochemical data including fasting blood sugar, lipid profile components, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, were collected. The performance of the anthropometric indices in predicting MetS was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis and estimation of the area under the curve (AUC) values.
resultsAbdominal volume index (AVI) had the largest AUC in the total population. Although this result was also obtained in females, the highest value of AUC was related to vaisceral adiposity index (VAI) in males. All of the anthropometric indices increased the odds of MetS significantly, with p < 0.001 in all crude and adjusted models. Although AVI had the highest odds ratio in the crude model (21.28, 95% CI 12.26-36.92), the highest odds ratio belonged to Relative fat mass (RFM) in the adjusted models.
conclusionsAll anthropometric indices used in the study were effective in predicting the odds of MetS. AVI and VAI showed the strongest associations with MetS in both genders. Given the cross-sectional design of the study, these results should be interpreted as associations rather than causal or predictive relationships.
