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

BACKGROUND/

objectivesExcess adiposity, affecting 43% of the global adult population, is a major contributor to cardiometabolic diseases. Lifestyle behaviours, specifically dietary habits, play a key role in weight management. Real-time assessment methods such as Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) provide context-rich data that reduce recall bias and offer insights into dietary triggers and lapses. This study examines dietary triggers among adults with excess adiposity in Singapore using EMA, focusing on factors influencing dietary adherence and lapses.

methodsA total of 250 participants with a BMI ≥ 23 kg/m

resultsOf the 4708 responses, 76.4% of the responses were indicative of adherence to dietary plans. Non-adherence was primarily associated with food accessibility and negative emotions (stress, nervousness, and sadness). Factors such as meals prepared by domestic helpers and self-preparation were significantly associated with adherence. Negative emotions and premenstrual syndrome were identified as significant predictors of dietary lapses.

conclusionsEMA offers valuable insights into dietary behaviours by identifying real-time triggers for dietary lapses. Future interventions can utilise technology-driven approaches to predict and prevent lapses, potentially improving adherence and weight management outcomes.
