Changes in the Oswestry Disability Index after a 3-Week In-Patient Multidisciplinary Body Weight Reduction Program in Adults with Obesity.

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
The aim of this study was to examine the short-term changes in disability after an inpatient, multidisciplinary body weight reduction program (BWRP) in adults with obesity. A total of 160 individuals (males: 52, females: 108, BMI > 35 kg/m2) hospitalized for a 3-week multidisciplinary BWRP were recruited into the study. Body composition, lower limb muscle power, fatigue severity, and disability were measured at the beginning and end of the intervention by means of bioimpedance analysis, a stair climbing test (SCT), the Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS), and the Oswestry disability index (ODI), respectively. At the end of the 3-week BWRP, an average body weight reduction of 5.0 kg (CI 95% −5.3; −4.6, p < 0.001) was determined, as well as an improvement in all parameters measured. Clinically meaningful reductions in disability were observed in the moderate disability (Δ = −11.8% CI 95% −14.3; −9.3, p < 0.001) and severe disability (Δ = −15.9% CI 95% −19.6; −12.2, p < 0.001) groups. Reductions in disability were explained only by improvements in the SCT (Δ = −2.7 CI 95% −4.1; −1.4, p < 0.001) and the FSS (Δ = −0.3% CI 95% −0.4; −0.1, p < 0.001). These findings demonstrate the importance of incorporating approaches into a BWRP that increase lower limb muscle power and decrease fatigue severity and thus reduce disability in adults with obesity.
