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

backgroundThe intervention in the Lifestyle Medicine Clinic from La Carlota Hospital gives an opportunity to assess the clinical effect of a healthy lifestyle in an inpatient setting with emphasis in a plant-based diet, supervised daily exercise, sleep hygiene, psychological and optional spiritual therapies. This work evaluated the effect of short-term therapy on biometrics and blood profiles' risk factors for non-communicable diseases (NCDs).

methodsTwenty-five patients were enrolled in the intervention, 12 for the 10-day intervention and 13 for the 21-day intervention.

resultsThe intervention improved most of the NCDs risk factors for the 10-day intervention weight decreased by -4.3% (p < .001), BMI -4.1% (p < .001), SBP -16.3% (p = .002), DBP -11.8% (p = .004), fasting glucose -31.3% (p = .041), total cholesterol -12.8% (p < .001), LDL -13.9 (p = .017), triglycerides and HDL lack statistical significance, however, there was a reduction of -7.7% and -9% respectively. For the 21-day intervention weight decreased by -8.3% (p = .016), SBP -11.2% (p = .005), DBP -11.4% (p = .022), triglycerides -39.5% (p = .034), total cholesterol -23.6% (p < .000), HDL -14.7% (p = .038), LDL -27.3% p < .000), BMI and fasting glucose presented a -15.2% and -21.2% reduction respectively without statistical significance.

conclusionThe present study confirms that short-term lifestyle interventions effectively reduce the risk factors associated with NCD's.
