The low-carbohydrate-diet score is associated with resting metabolic rate: an epidemiologic study among Iranian adults.
Article in Journal of diabetes and metabolic disorders, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
purposeLow-carbohydrate diet (LCD) has been used for weight loss and preventing obesity, but the association of adherence to LCD and resting metabolic rate (RMR) has not been investigated. This study aimed to investigate the association between the low-carbohydrate-diet score (LCDS) and RMR among Iranian adults.
methodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted on 270 Iranian adults 18-70 y of age. To assess dietary intakes, participants completed a validated food frequency questionnaire. The LCDS was calculated based on carbohydrate, protein and fat intake, expressed as a percentage of energy. The higher score indicates the lower carbohydrate and the higher protein and fat intake. RMR was measured by indirect calorimetry after an overnight fast.
resultsMultivariate-adjusted means showed that RMR significantly increased across tertiles (
conclusionAdherence to diets lower in carbohydrates and higher in fat and protein were associated with higher RMR. Further studies with a larger sample size are needed to confirm these findings.
