Development of a New Equation for the Prediction of Resting Metabolic Rate in Sri Lankan Adults.
Article in International journal of endocrinology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Resting metabolic rate (RMR) is the key determinant of the energy requirement of an individual. Measurement of RMR by indirect calorimetry is not feasible in field settings and therefore equation-based calculations are used. Since a valid equation is not available for Sri Lankans, it is important to develop a new population-specific equation for field use. The study objective was to develop a new equation for the prediction of RMR in healthy Sri Lankans using a reference method, indirect calorimetry. RMR data were collected from fifty-seven (male 27) adults aged 19 to 60 years. They were randomly assigned to validation (
