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

Big data are part of the future in obesity research. The ESRC funded Strategic Network for Obesity has together generated a series of papers, published in the International Journal for Obesity illustrating various aspects of their utility, in particular relating to the large social and environmental drivers of obesity. This article is the final part of the series and reflects upon progress to date and identifies four areas that require attention to promote the continued role of big data in research. We additionally include a 'getting started with big data' checklist to encourage more obesity researchers to engage with alternative data resources.
