Review in The Korean journal of gastroenterology = Taehan Sohwagi Hakhoe chi, 2024. 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
The prevalence of obesity with various complications is increasing rapidly in Korea. Although lifestyle modification is fundamental in obesity treatment, more effective treatment tools are required. Many advances in obesity treatment have been reported recently, including lifestyle modifications and pharmacological, endoscopic, and surgical treatments. Drugs with proven long-term efficacy and safety are preferred because management for obesity treatment is a long-term process. Currently, four medications are available for long-term use in Korea: Orlistat, Naltrexone/bupuropion NR, Phentermine/topiramate capsule, and Liraglutide. Recently, semaglutide and tirzepatide have been attracting attention because of their effectiveness and convenience, but they are not yet available in Korea. In addition, there are limitations such as the yo-yo effect when discontinuing the drug, long-term safety, and cost. Patients and medical staff must be aware of the advantages and side effects of each medication to ensure the successful treatment of obesity.
