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.

Abstract

BACKGROUND AND

aimThe MoKaRi study aims to evaluate the impact of two nutritional concepts on cardiometabolic risk factors.

methodsFor our 20-week intervention study, 65 participants with moderate elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C; ≥ 3 mmol/l) and without lipid-lowering therapy were recruited. The intervention to improve nutritional behavior was based on individualized menu plans which were characterized by defined energy and nutrient intake. To improve compliance, individual nutritional counselling sessions were held every two weeks. In addition to motivation, cooking skills were strengthened and nutritional knowledge was imparted. Follow-up visits were carried out after 10 and 20 weeks.

resultsThe MoKaRi diet lowered the concentrations of total cholesterol (menu plan group (MP): -15%; menu plan plus fish oil group (MP-FO): -11%), LDL-C (MP: -14%; MP-FO: -16%) and non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (MP: -16%; MP-FO: -13%) (p < 0.001). Body weight (MP: -5%; MP-FO: -8%; p < 0.05), waist circumference (MP: -6%; MP-FO: -9%) as well as diastolic blood pressure (MP: -8%; MP-FO: -8%), apolipoprotein A1 (MP: -15%; MP-FO: -20%), apolipoprotein B (MP: -15%; MP-FO: -6%) and glycated hemoglobin A

conclusionsThe MoKaRi diet resulted in a significant reduction of cardiometabolic risk factors. Our data highlights the additional benefit of the combination between menu plans and fish oil supplementation, which resulted in more substantial effects on body weight, BMI, TG, HbA1c and hs-CRP.
