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

objectiveTo establish the effectiveness of specialist-delivered nutrition and exercise interventions on the physical health of people with severe mental illness.

methodsAn electronic database search was completed from earliest record to August 2024 using Scopus, Medline, EMBASE, PsycINFO, and CINAHL, using key nutritional, cardiometabolic and psychiatric terminology. Eligible studies were randomised and non-randomised controlled trials which included specialist-delivered interventions (dietitian and/or nutritionist or exercise professional) with people diagnosed with severe mental illness. Primary outcomes were cardiometabolic risk factors.

resultsThirty-one studies were included: combined nutrition and exercise intervention (

conclusionSpecialist-delivered nutrition and exercise interventions are effective in improving weight, BMI and waist circumference status over the short to medium term in people diagnosed with severe mental illness. Exercise and nutrition programmes show promising effectiveness, and this research provides evidence to support the implementation as part of standard care of people diagnosed with severe mental illness.
