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

Overweight and obesity are substantial, growing public health concerns due to their huge direct and indirect negative impact on health. Obesity-associated complications and comorbid conditions include metabolic, cardiovascular, renal, liver and respiratory diseases, cancers, and functional limitations, leading to higher all-cause and cardiovascular mortality, and incident disability. The development of rigorous guidelines considering and comparing all possible therapeutic strategies is of critical importance, and a relevant tool for improving the quality of care and increasing the appropriateness of therapeutic choices. The Italian National Institute of Health (ISS-Istituto Superiore di Sanità) appointed the Italian Obesity Society (SIO-Società Italiana dell'Obesità) and other key scientific societies with a relevant stakeholder role on the theme issue to design and develop a new Italian guideline for the management of obesity in adult subjects, aimed at assisting healthcare professionals in the consideration of lifestyle, pharmacological, endoscopic, and surgical options for the treatment of overweight and obesity, as well as related conditions. We adopted Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluations (GRADE) methodology, strongly endorsed by Istituto Superiore di Sanità to develop trustworthy guidelines to be accepted onto Sistema Nazionale Linee Guida, the reference repository of national clinical practice guidelines for the Servizio Sanitario Nazionale.
