Recent trends in adult body mass index and prevalence of excess weight: Data from the Canadian Primary Care Sentinel Surveillance Network.
Article in Canadian family physician Medecin de famille canadien, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectiveTo explore recent body mass index (BMI) trends over time among Canadian adults seen in primary care to identify the best target groups for preventive interventions.
designRetrospective descriptive cohort design.
settingData for this study were derived from the Canadian Primary Care Sentinel Surveillance Network database.
participantsAll patients aged 18 years and older who had BMI measurements available between 2011 and 2016 were identified. A closed cohort (N = 243 078 unique patients) with a start date of January 1, 2011, was defined. Patients were excluded if key variables were missing or if BMI measurements were 15 kg/m
main outcome measuresThe dependent variable for this study was BMI (kg/m
resultsPatients in the Canadian Primary Care Sentinel Surveillance Network database experienced a modest increase in mean (95% CI) BMI by 2.1% from 28.5 (28.4 to 28.6) kg/m
conclusionThe findings indicate that current obesity management in primary care is failing to moderate weight trajectories in different groups by age and sex. The results also suggest that younger age groups, in whom accelerated weight gain occurred, should be the target of prevention initiatives.
