Trends in the prevalence of overweight, obesity, and abdominal obesity among Chinese adults between 1993 and 2015.

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
backgroundMost previous studies on trends in the prevalence of obesity or abdominal obesity in Chinese adults were based on regional data and/or short time intervals, and recent trends are not available. We aimed to examine the secular trends in the prevalence of overweight, obesity, and abdominal obesity among Chinese adults at the national level from 1993 to 2015.
methodsA total of 70,242 Chinese adults aged 18-80 years were from the cross-sectional surveys conducted from 1993 to 2015. According to the World Health Organization criteria, overweight was defined as body mass index (BMI) ≥23.0 kg/m
resultsBetween 1993 and 2015, and based on age-standardized values, mean BMI increased from 21.9 kg/m
conclusionsThe prevalence of overweight, obesity, and abdominal obesity increased markedly among Chinese adults during the past two decades. Weight control programs and public health measures to address the societal causes of obesity should be strengthened.
