Review in Current obesity reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

purpose of reviewThere is substantial inter-individual variability in body weight change, which is not fully accounted by differences in daily energy intake and physical activity levels. The metabolic responses to short-term perturbations in energy intake can explain part of this variability by quantifying the degree of metabolic "thriftiness" that confers more susceptibility to weight gain and more resistance to weight loss. It is unclear which metabolic factors and pathways determine this human "thrifty" phenotype. This review will investigate and summarize emerging research in the field of energy metabolism and highlight important metabolic mechanisms implicated in body weight regulation in humans. RECENT

findingsDysfunctional adipose tissue lipolysis, reduced brown adipose tissue activity, blunted fibroblast growth factor 21 secretion in response to low-protein hypercaloric diets, and impaired sympathetic nervous system activity might constitute important metabolic factors characterizing "thriftiness" and favoring weight gain in humans. The individual propensity to weight gain in the current obesogenic environment could be ascertained by measuring specific metabolic factors which might open up new pathways to prevent and treat human obesity.
