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

backgroundPrevious research has found that African American (AA) vegetarians/vegans have a significantly lower body mass index and risk of hypertension compared to omnivores.

objectivesThe Nutritious Eating with Soul (NEW Soul) study partnered with local soul food restaurants/chefs to deliver two behavioral nutrition interventions to AA adults. NEW Soul examines the impact of two different culturally tailored diets (vegan and omnivorous low-fat) on changes in risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD).

methodsAA adults with overweight or obesity are recruited from the community in the Midlands of South Carolina. Eligible participants are randomized to follow one of two different culturally-adapted, soul food diets: a vegan diet emphasizing minimally-processed whole foods from plants or a low-fat omnivorous diet. Participants attend weekly group classes for the first six months, bi-weekly for the next six months, and monthly meetings for the last year. In addition to face-to-face content, participants also have access to private Facebook groups for their diet, podcasts, and online newsletters starting at six months. Primary outcomes include changes in body weight and CVD risk factors (lipids, blood pressure, glucose, and insulin) at 12 months. Secondary outcomes include changes in dietary intake. Participants complete assessments at baseline and at months 6, 12, and 24.

conclusionsThe NEW Soul study is an innovative intervention aimed at improving dietary intake while maintaining traditional AA cultural food choices. Primary outcomes are expected by 2021.
