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

objectiveWe examined the association between BMI change and risk of multimorbidity among women of reproductive age and estimated annual weight gain before and after diagnosis of chronic conditions.

methodsData were from 8895 women in the Australian Longitudinal Study on Women's Health who had no chronic conditions at baseline. BMI from Survey 1 (ages 18-23) and Survey 3 (ages 25-30) defined BMI change categories. Linear mixed models estimated annual weight gain from Survey 1 to Survey 9 (ages 43-49).

resultsCompared to stable normal BMI, stable obesity and increasing BMI were associated with a higher risk of incident multimorbidity (OR = 1.79 [95% CI: 1.11, 2.90] and 1.34 [1.10, 1.63]). Women who remained free of chronic conditions gained 0.50 kg (0.48, 0.52) annually. Women with one condition gained 0.54 kg (0.52, 0.56): 0.55 (0.53, 0.57) before and 0.54 (0.51, 0.57) after diagnosis. Those with multimorbidity gained 0.65 kg (0.63, 0.67): 0.75 kg (0.70, 0.80) before the first, 0.60 kg (0.56, 0.64) between the first and second, and 0.57 kg (0.53, 0.61) after the second condition.

conclusionsAlthough weight gain declined after diagnosis, it remained higher than among women without conditions, underscoring the need for improved post-diagnosis weight management.
