Impact of dietary transitions on overweight and obesity burden and future trends among Chinese adults.
Article in NPJ science of food, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
Previous studies have examined dietary shifts and their impact on metabolic health in China, but the burden of overweight and obesity attributable to dietary risk factors remains unknown. Here, we found high intakes of both red meat and refined grains were the leading dietary factors responsible for the overweight/obesity burden. Although increasing intake trends were detected for whole grains, fruits, dairy products, legumes, nuts, and fish, their average intakes were still below optimal levels. The overall suboptimal dietary quality was attributable for 50.6% (214.9 million) of the total overweight/obesity burden in 2011, resulting in a medical cost of ¥32.5 billion, and was expected to be attributable for 477.3 million overweight/obesity cases in 2031, causing a medical cost of ¥313.6 billion. Obesity-related dietary guidelines and agriculture and food policies are warranted to improve diet quality and fight the obesity epidemic in China.
