The anatomy of resting energy expenditure: body composition mechanisms.
Review in European journal of clinical nutrition, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 22 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Body mass in humans and animals is strongly associated with the rate of heat production as defined by resting energy expenditure (REE). Beginning with the ancient Greeks up to the present time, philosophers and scientists have endeavored to understand the nature and sources of bodily heat. Today we recognize that body mass consists of organs and tissues, each of which produces a specified amount of heat at rest. An individual organ's REE can now be estimated in vivo as the product of its assumed mass-specific metabolic rate and its imaging-derived mass; whole-body REE reflects the sum of organ and tissue metabolic rates. The sizes of organs and total body mass in adults are governed by two main factors, a person's stature or height, and their level of adiposity. With greater body size, as represented by adult height independent of adiposity, organs remain stable or increase in mass according to distinct "scaling" patterns. Similarly, with greater relative adiposity organs adaptively accommodate to the increase in imposed mechanical and metabolic loading conditions. Through a detailed analysis of these stature and adiposity effects, we show how classical statistical REE prediction models can be mechanistically understood at the anatomic body composition level.
