Executive Summary of Evidence and Consensus-Based Clinical Practice Guidelines for Management of Obesity and Overweight in Midlife Women: An AIIMS-DST Initiative.
Review in Journal of mid-life health. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Weight gain is an independent risk factor for decline in cardiometabolic and overall health-related quality of life in midlife women. The AIIMS-DST initiative aims to develop and validate stepwise recommendations specific for weight management in midlife women. The key clinical questions specific to weight management in midlife women were finalized with the help of a multidisciplinary team of experts in the guideline development group. Phase I including a systematic and/or narrative review, grading of evidence, and expert opinion was sought to develop clinical practice recommendations for each clinical question. Phase II focused on validation of clinical practice recommendations using the peer-review, Delphi method, and GRADE approach. The guidelines provide clinical practice points to address challenges encountered by midlife women in their attempts to manage obesity via lifestyle modification techniques. The initiation of discussion would help the health-care provider to identify the weight management needs of the women, educate women on different modalities of weight management, and empower them to incorporate corrective lifestyle behaviors. Before initiating the management, a comprehensive assessment of clinical and lifestyle-related parameters should be completed. A personalized behavioral lifestyle modification program addressing the midlife-specific barriers for optimal metabolic, musculoskeletal, and mental health should be planned. A consistent follow-up is required for maintenance of corrective eating and activity habits by addressing midlife-specific barriers for sustenance of healthy weight. These recommendations will be useful in opportunistic screening and management of obesity in midlife women across health-care settings.
