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 Paleolithic diet (PD) has positive effects on health status and body composition. The Paleo diet has been also used to assess the effects on handball players performance but the association of adherence to PD and resting metabolic rate (RMR) has not been investigated especially in this group. This study aimed to impact of the moderate-carbohydrate diet on RMR among professional handball players. Twenty-five handball players were assigned into two groups: 14 in the experimental group (the Paleo diet; PD) and 11 in the control group (rational diet; CD) for 8-weeks of normoenergetic nutritional intervention. Resting metabolic rate was measured by indirect calorimetry using a Cortex MetaLyzer 3R ergospirometer (Germany), using the breath-by-breath method. Oxygen uptake (VO
