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

backgroundOlive oil intake is inversely associated with risk of cardiometabolic diseases. However, its energy density has raised concerns about weight gain.

objectiveTo examine the associations between long-term changes in olive oil consumption and changes in body weight in three prospective cohort studies.

methodsWe examined data from 121,119 females and males from the Nurses' Health Study (NHS, 1990-2010), NHSII (1991-2015), and Health Professionals Follow-up Study (HPFS, 1990-2014), aged 65 y or younger and who were free from chronic disease at baseline. We assessed the associations between changes in olive oil intake within each 4-y interval and concurrent body weight changes using multivariable linear regression models. Results across the 3 cohorts were pooled using inverse-variance weights.

resultsAt baseline, the mean body mass index (BMI in kg/m

conclusionsA long-term increase in olive oil intake was inversely associated with body weight in middle-aged adults in the United States. Conversely, increased consumption of other added fats, such as butter and margarine, was positively associated with body weight.
