Influence of dietary pattern on the development of overweight in a Chinese population.
Article in European journal of clinical nutrition, 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to 2 registered trials, which are not on this map. Cited by 35 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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
objectiveTo examine dietary factors predisposing to overweight and obesity, taking into account age, gender, education level and physical activity.
designLongitudinal population study.
settingCommunity living subjects in Hong Kong. SUBJECTS: One thousand and ten Chinese subjects participating in a territory wide dietary and cardiovascular risk factor prevalence survey in 1995-1996 were followed up for 5-9 years. MEASUREMENTS: Body mass index (BMI) was measured. Information was collected on factors predisposing to development of overweight and obesity (age, gender, education level, physical activity, macronutrient intake, Mediterranean diet score and food variety), and the predisposing dietary factors examined, adjusted for other confounding factors, using logistic regression.
resultsThe 5-9-year incidence of overweight is 22.6% (BMI > or =23 kg/m2, 95% confidence interval (CI)=15.0-30.1%) or 11.5% (BMI > or =25 kg/m2, 95% CI=7.3-15.7%), and for obesity (BMI >/=30 kg/m2) is 0.6% (95% CI=-0.2-1.4%). The corresponding figures for women were 14.1% (95% CI=8.8-19.5%), 9.7% (95% CI=6.0-13.4%) and 3% (95% CI=1.3-4.8%). After adjusting for confounding factors (age, sex, education and physical activity), increased variety of snack consumption was associated with increased risk of developing overweight (BMI > or =23 kg/m2) in the Hong Kong Chinese population over a 5-9-year period.
conclusionIncreased variety of snack consumption may predispose to weight gain over a 5-9-year period.
