Physical Activity Level and Dietary Intake Associated with Fat-Free Muscle Mass Changes During Intentional Weight Loss in Overweight and Obese Subjects.
Article in Nutrients, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundThe prevalence of obesity and related complications is increasing relentlessly worldwide. The effect of intentional weight loss strategies for obese individuals on fat-free muscle mass (FFMM) and metabolic and general health is not well known. The aim of this research is to measure the effects of dietary intake and physical activity level on FFMM change during intentional weight loss in obese subjects. MATERIALS AND
methodsNine hundred and sixty-five overweight and obese community free-living subjects had the effects of physical activity level and dietary intake on FFMM change during intentional weight loss assessed in a prospective longitudinal study. Anthropometric, physical activity, dietary intake, inflammatory markers, and oxidative damage were assessed at baseline and follow-up. Validated questionnaires were used to measure dietary intake and physical activity. We compared FFMM loss or gain between subjects stratified by calorie, protein, and fruit and vegetable intake and physical activity levels. The Cox proportional hazards analysis was used to determine the independent effects of dietary intake and physical activity on FFMM changes.
resultsA total of 965 subjects [(mean (SD) age 39 ± 12 years, 801 (83%)] females] were assessed at baseline with follow-up for a period of 427 ± 223 days. Using the WHO criteria for body mass index (BMI), 284 (30%) subjects were found to be overweight and 584 (62%) were obese. We found significant correlations between fat-muscle mass ratio (FMR) and inflammatory and oxidative damage markers. After adjusting for important prognostic indicators, age, gender, occupation, physical activity, and fruit and vegetable consumption were found to be significantly associated with FFMM at baseline (
conclusionsIncreased physical activity and high calorie, fruit and vegetable intake are associated with FFMM preservation or gains during intentional weight loss in obese subjects.
