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

This study investigates whether sustained adherence to a healthy lifestyle is associated with lower obesity risk among individuals of Indian ancestry who have a high polygenic risk score (PRS) for body mass index (BMI). For the purposes of this research, a health-promoting lifestyle is defined by routine physical activity, non-smoking or minimal smoking behavior, and adherence to a balanced diet. We analyzed two independent cohorts: 6,663 Indian participants from the UK Biobank and 91 participants from the Wellytics-Asian Institute of Gastroenterology cohort. Genetic predisposition was quantified using a BMI-PRS, while lifestyle behaviors were combined into a composite score categorized as favorable or unfavorable. Obese individuals exhibited significantly higher PRS values than non-obese counterparts (UKB: P = 1.3 × 10^-85; W-AIG: P = 6.67 × 10
