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 Obesity is a growing public health problem in both developing and developed countries. Negative health-related outcomes such as type II diabetes mellitus (T2DM), cardiovascular disease (CVD), and certain cancers are linked with being overweight and obesity. Fruits and vegetables provide a protective effect against non-communicable diseases, though there is a lack of data regarding the effect of consuming non-starchy vegetables on weight status and related anthropometric parameters. Aims The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of the daily recommended intake of non-starchy vegetables on weight status including body mass index (BMI), fat mass (percent body fat (PBF) and visceral fat (VF)), and waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) in an overweight and obese university population. Methods This was a pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT), and it was conducted at a public sector university in Lahore, Pakistan. Data were collected from an overweight and obese university population (including students and teaching and non-teaching staff) with a BMI ≥ 23kg/m
