Obesity: assessment and treatment across the care continuum.
Review in Annals of medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
backgroundObesity is a chronic condition of dysregulated energy balance that is caused by a confluence of nutritional, neurological, hormonal and metabolic factors. Clinically, obesity is associated with myriad consequences to overall health. Treatment should be based on a shared decision-making process between the patient and their professional team that considers the stage of the disease, wellness goals and desired lifestyle and can include a combination of behavioural and lifestyle interventions, pharmacological therapies and surgery. The chronic nature of obesity necessitates adjustments in treatment plans to match the evolving needs and goals of the patient over time, establishing a 'care continuum.'
methodsWe conducted a broad, narrative literature search using PubMed for articles published on the assessment, diagnosis and treatment of adults with obesity.
resultsIn this narrative literature review, we outline evidence-based best practices for the diagnosis and assessment of obesity along with the various available treatment modalities. We also present considerations for treating patients with obesity with a focus on the selection of obesity medications based on severity, concurrent conditions, mechanisms of action and treatment goals. Finally, we discuss lifestyle management, the shift from weight loss to weight maintenance, and the implications of these changes in the care continuum.
conclusionContinued, individualized treatment of patients with obesity from diagnosis to weight maintenance is imperative for sustained weight reductions, and strategies should be tailored to the changing needs of patients over time.
