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.

2 · The registry

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/

objectivesCommunicating genetic risk has been proposed as a motivational tool for weight control, but evidence remains limited.

methodsWe conducted a randomized controlled trial among 53 overweight or obese young adults in South Korea. Participants were randomized to receive either their obesity-related genetic results with tailored lifestyle recommendations (intervention,

resultsOverall, body weight and composition changes did not differ significantly between groups at 6 or 18 months. In exploratory subgroup analysis conducted among participants with obesity-related genetic risk, body weight increased in the intervention group (model-adjusted mean change, 2.68 kg; 95% CI, 2.28 to 3.09) but decreased in the control group (model-adjusted mean change, -11.58 kg; 95% CI, -1.99 to -1.18) over 18 months. Among participants with obesity-related genetic risk in the intervention group, those who reported behavior changes after receiving their genetic test results experienced modest weight reductions over 6 months compared with non-changers.

conclusionsDisclosure of obesity-related genetic information with tailored advice did not improve weight outcomes overall, but may benefit a subset of genetically susceptible individuals. Larger trials are warranted.
