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

Prior disparities in obesity research emphasize socioeconomic status as a potential driver of White-Black differences in obesity prevalence, but there is a paucity of research examining the influence of education on the observed racial difference among men. The objective of this study was to determine whether the relationship between race and obesity varies by education level among Non-Hispanic White (NHW) and Non-Hispanic Black (NHB) men. We used 1999 to 2016 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey data consisting of a sample of 13,583 men (9,459 NHW and 4,124 NHB). Race and Ethnicity were determined by self-reports of whether they were Hispanic or not and their racial group. Education was based on self-reporting of the highest grade level or level of school completed and categorized as: less than high school, high school diploma or General Equivalency Diploma, some college or associate degree, and college degree or above. Thirty-four percent of the men were obese (body mass index [BMI] > 30 kg/m
