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

backgroundThe Complete Health Improvement Program (CHIP) has demonstrated effectiveness in improving multiple cardiovascular disease risk factors. CHIP promotes physical activity, as well as a plant-based whole-food diet. The study objective is to evaluate the effectiveness of CHIP on improving levels of physical activity.

methodsCHIP participants had biomarkers measured at baseline and after the 11th session, consisting of level of physical activity, blood pressure (BP), body mass index (BMI), fasting blood sugar (FBS), and lipid panel. Pre and post data were analyzed using paired t-tests.

resultsCHIP demonstrated significant increase in level of physical activity (

conclusionCHIP is effective in producing increased level of physical activity and improvement in multiple biomarkers. The increase in physical activity is correlated with decreased BMI.
