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

backgroundA 55-year-old, post-menopausal, obese female with obesity-related symptoms seen by a nutritionist using motivational interviewing and self-determination theory assisted a client with an elimination diet and lifestyle modifications to lose weight. CASE/

interventionAn elimination diet was the primary component of these recommendations, identifying food sensitivities associated with an inability to lose weight. Biomarkers identified abnormalities to help individualize and guide nutritional recommendations. Motivational interviewing and the self-determination theory were used in this functional nutrition approach.

conclusionOver a six-week period the client had an 18-pound reduction in weight, a loss of 22.5 inches of girth and decreased bloating.
