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

introductionObesity, a complex chronic disease, is on the rise, leading to increased mortality, morbidity and societal challenges. This study explores intersectoral interventions focusing on the needs of people living with obesity (PLO). METHODS AND ANALYSIS: An environmental scan of the published and unpublished literature will be conducted using Medline, Embase, Cumulated Index in Nursing and Allied Health Literature and specialised websites. To be included, citations must describe or evaluate an intersectoral intervention for PLO developed in primary care or community settings. Title and abstract, full-text screening and extraction will be completed by two independent reviewers. Discrepancies will be resolved through consensus. Data such as study and intervention characteristics will be extracted using a customised extraction template on Covidence and synthesised in a table. Findings from this study will guide intervention design and enhance intersectoral collaboration in primary care and community settings. A multidisciplinary group, including clinicians and two patient partners, will be consulted throughout the process. Despite the challenges of defining intersectoral collaboration and limited data on obesity as a chronic disease, this study is foundational for developing effective intersectoral interventions for PLO. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: Ethics approval is not required. Findings will be disseminated through presentations at relevant conferences and other knowledge translation activities and will be published in a peer-reviewed journal.
