Dietary advice for people with schizophrenia.
Synthesis in The Cochrane database of systematic reviews, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 3 of them syntheses 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundPeople with serious mental illness have consistently higher levels of mortality and morbidity than the general population. They have greater levels of cardiovascular disease, metabolic disease, diabetes, and respiratory illness. Although genetics may have a role in the physical health problems of these people, lifestyle and environmental factors such as smoking, obesity, poor diet, and low levels of physical activity play a prominent part.
objectivesTo review the effects of dietary advice for schizophrenia and schizophrenia-like psychosis. SEARCH
methodsWe searched the Cochrane Schizophrenia Group's Trials Register (September 09, 2013 and February 24, 2016). SELECTION CRITERIA: We planned to include all randomised clinical trials focusing on dietary advice versus standard care. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS: The review authors (RP, KTP) independently screened search results but did not identify any studies that fulfilled the review's criteria. MAIN
resultsWe did not identify any studies that met our inclusion criteria. AUTHORS'
conclusionsDietary advice has been shown to improve the dietary intake of the general population. Research is needed to determine whether dietary advice can have a similar benefit in people with serious mental illness.
