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

BACKGROUND/

objectivesThe present study assessed the impact of a year-long community-engaged lifestyle intervention to improve healthy food access, anthropometric measures, and quality of life among factory workers.

methodsA total of 80 workers aged 20-65 participated in this quasi-experimental pre-post intervention with nine dietitian-led sessions, weekly physical activity classes, and adjustments to the factory food menu. Volunteer health leaders from the workforce played a pivotal role as project stakeholders, promoting the initiative, liaising with the food supplier, advocating for physical activity hours with management, and supporting activity dissemination. Data were collected at baseline, four months, and one year, including weight, waist circumference, dietary intake, physical activity, and quality of life (SF-36 questionnaire).

resultsWaist circumference significantly decreased after 4 and 12 months. Regression models showed that each additional year of age correlated with a 0.72 cm reduction, while over 150 min of weekly physical activity was associated with a 6.58 cm decrease. The mental health component of the quality of life scores improved from 73.1 ± 18.5 to 78.7 ± 17.6 (

conclusionsThis community-engaged, dietitian-led intervention significantly improved factory workers' health and well-being, providing a cost-effective solution.
