Origin, Impact, and Solutions for Lifestyle-Related Chronic Diseases in Samoa and American Samoa.
Review in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Samoa and American Samoa are two island groups in the South Pacific inundated with the physiological consequences of swift westernization of diet and lifestyle. These polities face the singular theme of lifestyle-related problems seen in other countries. This paper aims to discuss the current demographics in Samoa and American Samoa and examine the origin and impact of lifestyle-related chronic diseases within a subset of its populace. This review will highlight the prominent nutrition transition that these polities have undergone in their development and examine the pathogenesis and pathophysiology of lifestyle-related diseases, primarily type 2 diabetes and obesity, in the context of a prominent cultural shift. Samoa and American Samoa face a litany of public health concerns as a result of the rising prevalence of lifestyle-related chronic diseases and the persistent threat of obesity. Lifestyle medicine is proposed as the optimal treatment solution for the currently devastating disease states and is adapted to the vibrant agricultural resources and healing roots of the Samoan culture.
