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

objectivesMenopause contributes to weight gain in women. We explored factors associated with obesity in women with HIV aged 45-60 years.

methodsThe present study is an analysis of cross-sectional questionnaire and clinic data from the Positive Transitions Through the Menopause (PRIME) Study. We categorized body mass index (BMI) as normal/underweight (< 25 kg/m

resultsWe included 396 women in this analysis. Median age was 49 years [interquartile range (IQR): 47-52]. Most (83.6%) were not UK-born; the majority (69.4%) were black African (BA). Median (IQR) BMI was 28.6 (24.6-32.6) kg/m

conclusionsNearly two-fifths of women had BMI > 30 kg/m
