Protein-Rich Diets for Weight Loss Maintenance.
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 12 papers.
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
purpose of reviewHigh-protein diets in the management of obesity have been around for many years and have been rigorously tested for their ability to induce weight loss. Comparably less is known about their effects on the maintenance of lost weight. RECENT
findingsSeveral small and a few large randomized trials have evaluated the efficacy of high-protein diets (20-35% of calories from protein; 1.2-1.9 g/kg∙day) compared with normal-protein diets (10-20% of calories from protein; 0.8-1.3 g/kg∙day), consumed mostly ad libitum during weight loss maintenance, i.e., after clinically significant weight loss. Most of these studies indicate that weight regain in the short term (3-12 months) is lower by 1-2 kg with high-protein diets than low-protein diets. This effect is attenuated with longer periods of observation, likely because of decreasing dietary compliance. In line with findings during the active weight loss phase, studies assessing the efficacy of protein-rich diets to improve weight loss maintenance report beneficial effects in the short term, which nevertheless dissipate over time.
