Overweight and Obesity and Multimorbidity in Community-Living Older Persons in the Philippines.
Article in Journal of the ASEAN Federation of Endocrine Societies, 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
Background: Overweight and obesity, as well as the coexistence of multimorbidity, have been recognized as global health challenges. However, less is known about the prevalence of obesity and multimorbidity among older people in the Philippines. This study sought to determine the prevalence of obesity and multimorbidity among community-living older people. Methodology: A cross-sectional analysis of older persons ≥60 years from the Focused Intervention for Frail Older Adults Research and Development Program (FITforFrail). Height and weight were measured by body mass index as underweight, <18.5 kg/m Results: The prevalence of obesity was 15.4%, which was significantly more common among women ( Conclusion: The results of this study highlight the importance of overweight/obesity as a determinant of multimorbidity. Future research should look into gender differences in risk factors and multimorbidity patterns.
