1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

The prevalence of obesity has increased significantly over the last several decades, and with its increase comes a wide variety of comorbidities, such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Traditionally, diet and exercise have been prescribed for individuals to try and regain control of their weight and health status. Despite this successful method, the compliance rate is significantly below the desired amount. Over the last few decades, a new treatment has been offered to significantly decrease an individual's weight to an optimal BMI between 18 and 25 kg/m
