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

significanceWe evaluated weight loss outcomes in a newly established hospital-affiliated, physician-directed multidisciplinary, and personalized obesity care model.

methodsFifty established patients in a specialized obesity medicine practice underwent intensive lifestyle intervention ±adjunctive pharmacotherapy (46/50) for >6 consecutive months and when required, psychological intervention. We identified demographics, obesity-related comorbidities, anthropometric changes over time, and laboratory screen. Psychosocial status was determined using Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II), Brownell-Stunkard Weight-Loss Readiness Test, and Impact of Weight on Quality of Life-Lite (IWQOL).

resultsPatient characteristics (mean ± SD) were: 70% female; age 47.0 ± 16.4 y; weight 111.55 ± 32.8 kg; BMI 39.3 ± 8.8 kg/m

conclusionsOrganized hospital-affiliated specialized obesity care delivery models can be successful in personalized obesity treatment. These types of medical programs for complicated obesity are likely to reduce impediments to addressing obesity effectively.
