Body mass index variation in adults with Williams syndrome: associations with predicted dietary intake and food behaviors.
Article in Food & nutrition research, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
Background: Dietary intake and body weight are important predictors of long-term health. However, few studies have focused on these topics in adults with genetic syndromes that have associated intellectual disability, such as Williams syndrome (WS). Objective: In adults with WS, describe predicted dietary intake, food-related problems, and associations between body mass index (BMI) and possible factors contributing to differences in weight status. Design: In this study of 82 participants (median age of 30 years, range 18-69), we cross sectionally investigated associations between BMI, predicted dietary intakes (Dietary Screener Questionnaire), food-related behaviors (Food-Related Problem Questionnaire), and anxiety (Spence Children's Anxiety Scale). Longitudinal patterns of weight change were further studied in a subset ( Results: BMI variation was observed with median BMI of 27.3 kg/m Conclusion: We observed considerable BMI variability. While few dietary intakes were associated with BMI, increased BMI and weight gain were associated with 'preoccupation with food' and with 'takes and stores food' behavior sub-scores.
