Protein, fiber, and exercise: a narrative review of their roles in weight management and cardiometabolic health.
Review in Lipids in health and disease, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
More than 40% of adults in the United States have obesity, which is an independent risk factor for cardiometabolic dysfunction and several chronic diseases, including atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Interventions for obesity include lifestyle modification, pharmacotherapy, and metabolic surgery. Lifestyle interventions have minimal side effects and are the most economical, yet long-term adherence is poor. Challenges for long-term adherence are related, in part, to metabolic adaptations that occur during weight loss that affect appetite and energy expenditure. However, a lifestyle intervention that involves higher intakes of protein and fiber and increased participation in exercise may help to blunt the increases in hunger and cravings that occur with weight loss while increasing energy expenditure, thus assisting with both weight loss and weight loss maintenance. These changes also promote improved cardiometabolic health, independent of weight loss. This narrative review summarizes the evidence for the roles of increasing protein, fiber, and exercise for weight management and improving the cardiometabolic risk factor profile.
