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

backgroundReducing body weight by nutritional management is an integral element of cardiac rehabilitation and in secondary prevention of cardiovascular diseases. Administration of a "plate model" is one practical aspect to control calorie intake. The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the plate model as a part of dietary modification in losing excess weight in post-myocardial infarction (MI) patients.

methodsAn interventional, randomized, single-blinded study with parallel subject allocation was conducted among patients with a history of troponin-positive acute coronary syndrome (ACS). A total of 120 patients were recruited to intervention and control groups. The Intervention cluster was provided with 'plate model' and both groups received standard cardiac rehabilitation care. Anthropometric, clinical and metabolic parameters were measured at recruitment and repeated during 4th and 12th week.

resultsA sample of 79 patients (the intervention group: 40, the control group: 39) completed the study. At the end of 12 weeks participants in the intervention group exhibited a significant weight loss (-1.27±3.58

conclusionsPlate model is an effective dietary intervention in view of weight reduction in post-MI patients.
