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

purposeThis study aimed to test a conceptual model of associations between socio-demographic and behavioral factors and obesity in the Tehran Lipid and Glucose Study (TLGS).

methodsData from 2747 TLGS adult participants (58.3 % female) were analyzed. Socio-demographic and behavioral factors in the conceptual model were tested for their direct and indirect associations with overweight and central obesity, using structural equation modeling (SEM), conducted by IBM SPSS AMOS software.

resultsOverweight and central obesity were found in 61.6 and 48.1 % of respondents, respectively. Fit indices were acceptable for the conceptual model. Daily energy intake had a direct association with overweight and central obesity in both genders; however, poor dietary pattern had direct associations with overweight and central obesity only in men. In women, age, marital status, and level of education had direct associations with overweight and central obesity. In men, only age and marital status had direct associations with overweight and central obesity.

conclusionsAge and marital status in both genders and level of education only in women were among the socio-demographic factors which were directly associated with both overweight and central obesity. Among behavioral factors, daily energy intake was the most important factor that was directly associated with both overweight and central obesity in both genders. Adherence to poor diet directly was associated with overweight and central obesity only in men. The current findings provide beneficial information for designing culturally relevant and effective interventions/strategies for prevention of overweight among Tehranian adults.
