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

introductionThe influence of culture on body mass index (BMI) and obesity within the African American population is an underexplored area in the literature. Therefore, this study explored the extent to which cultural identity was associated with BMI and obesity among African Americans and whether the association of cultural identity with obesity differed between males and females.

methodsParticipants were African Americans (n = 304) who responded to an online survey. BMI was calculated using self-reported weight and height; a BMI ≥ 30 indicated obesity. Sex assigned at birth was measured by self-report, and identification with African American culture was assessed using scores from six Black Identity Classification Scale (BICS) subscales. Primary analyses were conducted using a series of linear and logistic regression analyses.

resultsIn almost all cases, BICS was not associated with BMI and obesity among all African Americans, but moderation analyses revealed that stronger identification with certain subscales of BICS, such as Afrocentrism, Black Americanism, and Racial Salience, was associated with an increase in the odds of obesity for males and not for females.

conclusionsStudy findings suggest that culture may influence obesity differently among males and females. Uncovering mechanisms linking cultural identification to obesity will provide novel contributions to behavioral interventions designed to reduce obesity within the African American population.
