[Nutrition transition, prevalence of double burden of malnutrition and cardiovascular risk factors in the adult population living in the island of Anjouan, Comoros].
Article in The Pan African medical journal, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
introductionOverweight and obesity has been increasing at an alarming rate, in particular in the developing countries. The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of underweight and overweight and to assess the relationship between body mass index and cardiovascular risk factors in adults living in the island of Anjouan.
methodsWe conducted a cross-sectional study involving a sample of 902 individuals aged 25 to 64 years using the empirical survey based on "quota sampling". Nutritional status was determined by calculating the body mass index, the abdominal circumference and waist-to-hip ratio (WHR). Blood pressure, abdominal circumference and hip circumference were measured during the interview while capillary fasting blood glucose was measured the next day.
resultsThe results show an average age of 39.5 ± 11.67 years. The overall prevalence of underweight, overweight and obesity was 4.1%, 28.6% and 22.2% respectively. The risk factors associated with overweight/obesity were: advanced age (p= 0.004), gender (p=0.000), weight (p=0.000), diabetes (p= 0.006), hypertension (p= 0.01), abdominal obesity (p= 0.000), hip circumference (p=0.000), WHR (p=0.000), time of inactivity/day (p=0.001) and smoking (p< 0.05), in contrast to physical inactivity (p= 0.10).
conclusionThese results confirm the presence of a double burden of nutrition. Hence the urgency to implement preventive measures for noncommunicable diseases.
