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/

objectivesOvernutrition, leading to overweight and obesity, is a growing concern among the elderly, contributing to non-communicable diseases. This study examines socio-demographic, dietary, and lifestyle factors associated with overnutrition in Hungarian adults aged 65 and older.

methodsA cross-sectional analysis was conducted using 2019 European Health Interview Survey data, including 1628 elderly participants. Body mass index (BMI ≥ 25 kg/m

resultsOvernutrition prevalence was 72.7%, higher in males (77.8%) than females (69.1%). Urbanization, income, and partner status showed associations. Significant predictors included lower water intake (OR = 0.47, 95% CI: 0.33-0.65 for 1-1.5 L), artificial sweetener use (OR = 1.54, 95% CI: 1.13-2.11), moderate/high salt intake (OR = 1.45, 95% CI: 1.06-1.99), former/never smoking (OR = 2.56, 95% CI: 1.73-3.77), and heavy alcohol use (OR = 4.00, 95% CI: 1.33-12.50).

conclusionsArtificial sweetener use, high salt intake, smoking history, and heavy alcohol consumption are key modifiable predictors of overnutrition, informing targeted interventions for elderly Hungarians.
