Trends in body mass index, nutrient intake and nutritional status of rural adults in India: National Nutrition Monitoring Bureau survey findings (1975-2012).
Article in BMC public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundOverweight/obesity has increased to an epidemic proportion throughout the globe and is an important risk factor for many non-communicable diseases. Globally, 2.5 billion people were overweight/obese and 890 million were obese in 2022.
methodsA community based cross-sectional surveys carried out in 10 Indian states by National Nutrition Monitoring Bureau during 1975-79, 1996-97, and 2010-12 was used. In each state, 120 villages and 20 households per village were covered. A total 49,064, 30,740, and 56,235 subjects aged ≥ 18 years were covered and information on the household's socio-demographic characteristics and height (cm) and weight (kg) measurements were carried out. Associations between overweight/obesity and socio-demographic variables were tested using Pearson's chi-square test.
resultsThe mean body mass index (BMI) has increased significantly (p < 0.001) from 18.4 kg/m
conclusionsBMI and overweight/obesity has increased over the periods and are associated with gender, community, education status, and increased fats and oil intakes. The Government of India's initiative like Fit India Movement, NP-NCD, Eat Right, Khelo India, along with strengthening of information, education & communication (IEC) and Health & Nutrition Education will promote healthier lifestyles, better nutrition, physical activities and thus reducing the problem of overweight/obesity.
