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

The prevalence of obesity has increased among Inuit populations across the Arctic, although some studies indicate stabilisation. The Greenlandic Inuit may exhibit distinct obesity patterns due to unique genetic factors and rapid societal transitions. We investigated temporal trends in obesity prevalence among adults in Greenland from 1999 to 2018 by age, sex and place of residence. We analysed data from serial cross-sectional Greenland Population Health Surveys conducted in 1999-2001 (
