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

backgroundWe evaluated the effectiveness of a structured family-based cardiovascular health promotion intervention model in improving weight management among adults.

methodsWe conducted an open label, cluster randomized controlled trial (

resultsIn total, 1,671 participants (1,111 women) from 750 families participated. The mean age of the study population was 40.8 (SD = 14.2) years. The attrition rate at the 2-year follow-up was 3%. The adjusted population average change attributable to the intervention at the 2-year follow-up were -2.61 kg in weight (95% CI, -3.95 to -1.26;

conclusionThe reduction in weight achieved in the family-based intervention could have a substantial public health impact in preventing future diabetes and other noncommunicable disease conditions.
