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

objectiveTo analyze sociodemographic and health factors associated with high levels of adherence to dietary practices recommended by the Dietary Guidelines for the Brazilian Population among people with obesity taking part in the Health Fitness Program in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil.

methodsThis is a cross-sectional study with a representative sample of Health Fitness Program participants with obesity who were ≥20 years old. Sociodemographic and health data were collected, and the adherence to the Dietary Guidelines scale was assessed, classified as: low (<32 points), medium (32-41 points) and high (>41 points). Multivariate logistic regression was performed.

resultsIn all, 1,109 individuals participated, the majority of whom were women (92.5%) and had at least one chronic disease (85.8%). The majority self-rated their health status as very good/good (62.2%), 62.8% had hypertension and 68.0% had Class 1 Obesity. 46.0% had good levels of adherence to the Dietary Guidelines. After adjustment, high levels of adherence were associated with being elderly (odds ratio [OR] 1.47; 95%CI 1.1; 2.0), having higher income (OR 0.58; 95%CI 0.41; 0.81) and better self-rated health (regular: OR 0.73; 95%CI 0.55; 0.96; poor/very poor: OR 0.26; 95%CI 0.13; 0.52).

conclusionHigh levels of adherence to the Dietary Guidelines were associated with stage of life, better income and positive self-rated health, highlighting the need to target efforts towards adults and vulnerable groups.
