Validation of Body Condition Scoring as a Screening Test for Low Body Condition and Obesity in Common Marmosets (
Article in bioRxiv : the preprint server for biology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Assessing body weight is common practice for monitoring health in common marmosets ( Research highlights: We evaluated body condition scoring (BCS) as a screening tool for detecting low body condition and obesity in marmosets by comparing it to diagnoses based on quantitative magnetic resonance, the gold-standard method for body composition analysis.BCS was more accurate at detecting low lean mass and obesity than low adiposity, with marmosets having low BCS showing higher odds of low lean mass and those with excessively high BCS having higher odds of obesity.Results suggest that BCS can serve as an instrument-free method to screen for low body condition and obesity in marmosets, enabling early detection of health decline and guiding the need for further diagnostic testing and treatment.
