Obesity as a Disease.
Article in Current obesity reports, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
In recent years, obesity and related medical conditions have become leading public health concerns worldwide. Policy measures to combat or prevent obesity have been instated in a number of countries, with varying degrees of success. To stress the importance of obesity as a health issue, many professional health organizations, including the American Medical Association, have defined obesity itself as a disease. While this may be somewhat controversial, the high risk of comorbid conditions in obese individuals, the significant changes from healthy physiology that are present in the obese state, and the need for further public policies to address the public health threat and economic impact of obesity in the population are strong supporting arguments to label obesity as a disease.
