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

objectivesThe objective was to develop a tool enabling better understanding of obesity impact on social functioning with focus on daily functioning and work related activities. MATERIAL AND

methods

resultsThe qualitative parts provided information on attitudes and emotions, where mostly negative attitudes and emotions were mentioned. The most frequently mentioned were physical activity, walking up the stairs, housework and activities related to patients' image. The quantitative part identified 2 factors (1 - relations in the further social environment, 2 - functioning in a close environment). The Likert scale was recoded for each statement as follows: 1 - 3; 2 - 1; 3 - 2; 4 - 4; 5 - 5 and Cronbach's α value was calculated confirming scale reliability. It equals 0.874 for the total of items.

conclusionsThe OQI-3 is innovative and combines various research techniques to verify people suffering from obesity well-being and disease impact on social functioning. The pilot study has proven its internal consistence. However the modified tool based on the pilot results should be tested and validated on a larger study group. Guidelines for results interpretation should be developed with the final instrument version. Int J Occup Med Environ Health. 2025;38(2):151-62.
