Obesity pillars roundtable: Obesity and individuals from the Mediterranean region and Middle East.
Article in Obesity pillars, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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: The rates of obesity in Mediterranean and Middle East regions are increasing. This may be related to worsening physical inactivity, and gravitation away from more healthful nutrition. Methods: This roundtable discussion includes 4 obesity specialists with experience in the clinical management of obesity. Included in this discussion are citations regarding obesity and populations from the Mediterranean and Middle East regions. Results: Among the most studied nutritional dietary pattern having evidence-based data supporting improved cardiometabolic health is the Mediterranean Diet. Prospective studies such as the PREvención con DIeta MEDiterránea (PREDIMED) study support the cardiometabolic benefits of dietary consumption of plant-based, higher fiber foods having a relatively high proportion of unsaturated fats. Cuisine from the Middle East has both similarities and some differences compared to the Mediterranean Diet. Interim analyses of the PREDIMED-Plus study suggest the Mediterranean Diet plus caloric restriction and physical activity intervention reduces body weight and improves cardiometabolic risk factors. As with any dietary intake, Mediterranean and Middle Eastern food choices and preparation affect their nutritional healthfulness. Conclusion: The panelists of this roundtable discussion describe their practical diagnostic processes and treatment plans for patients with obesity from the Mediterranean Region and Middle East.
