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.

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.

Abstract

backgroundDietary intake plays a pivotal role in the prevalence and management of obesity. While women and men exhibit differences in dietary habits and food-related behaviors, sex-based weight loss recommendations are lacking. This study aims to examine the impact of specific foods and food categories on weight reduction in men and women over a two-year period.

methodsA total of 8,548 participants from the 10K cohort, from 2019 to 2023, were included in the analysis (53.1% women, mean age 51.7 years). Anthropometric measurements and laboratory results were collected at baseline and at the two-year follow-up visit. Dietary assessment was based on daily food intake digitally logged through an application for at least 3 consecutive days at both timepoints. We compared intake of macronutrients, micronutrients, food groups and daily energy consumption between sex and body mass index (BMI) categories at baseline and weight change categories at follow-up. Using linear regression, we assessed the associations between food categories or specific foods and BMI at baseline as well as weight change percentage at follow-up.

resultsDietary habits varied by BMI and sex. Women and men living with obesity (BMI > 30 kg/m

conclusionsSex-specific dietary habits significantly influence weight change over time. In men, weight loss was primarily associated with the addition of animal-based protein, while in women, it was linked to caloric deficit and plant-based fat, suggesting that sex-based nutritional interventions may demonstrate greater efficacy.
