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.

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.

Abstract

backgroundHabitual dairy consumption reduces risk factors for obesity and its associated characteristics of the metabolic syndrome.

objectivesThis study aims to describe the effect of adding 3 daily servings of full-fat dairy to the diet of adults with overweight and obesity, counseled to follow Canada's Food Guide (CFG).

methodsA 12-wk single-blinded, parallel, randomized study was conducted in 74 participants [age: 36.55 ± 1.04 y; body mass index (BMI): 29.34 ± 0.43 kg/m

resultsBody weight and BMI were reduced by treatment (P < 0.05) in LD-ER over the 12 wk (P > 0.05). In 3D-AL, a decrease (0.25 ± 0.34 cm) in hip circumference (P < 0.05) and in systolic blood pressure (2.72 ± 2.18; P < 0.05; SBP) was found at week 12. SBP also decreased in LD-ER (P < 0.05). Triglycerides increased in all groups at week 4 (P < 0.05) but returned to baseline by week 12. Neither treatment nor time affected waist circumference, fat and fat-free mass, resting metabolic rate, fasting blood cholesterol, and urine creatinine and urea (P > 0.05). Protein and calcium (P < 0.04) intakes were increased with time in 3D-EN and 3D-AL but not in LD-ER. Compliance with CFG, assessed by a food tracker, increased with time (77% by week 12).

conclusionsFrequent and daily consumption of full-fat dairy as part of a healthy diet is consistent with CFG. This study was registered at clinicaltrials.gov as NCT04399460 on 22 May, 2020 (https://www. CLINICALTRIALS: gov/study/NCT04399460).
