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

To determine quantitative differences between weight loss and changes in clinic blood pressure (BP) and ambulatory BP in patients with obesity or overweight, the authors performed a meta-analysis. PubMed, Embase, and Scopus databases were searched up to June 2022. Studies that compared clinic or ambulatory BP with weight loss were included. A random effect model was applied to pool the differences between clinic BP and ambulatory BP. Thirty-five studies, for a total of 3219 patients were included in this meta-analysis. The clinic systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) were significantly reduced by 5.79 mmHg (95% CI, 3.54-8.05) and 3.36 mmHg (95% CI, 1.93-4.75) after a mean body mass index (BMI) reduction of 2.27 kg/m
