Multidisciplinary Therapy to Target Obesity and Its Complications in Adult Population: A Narrative Review.
Review in Obesity reviews : an official journal of the International Association for the Study of Obesity, 2026. 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
Obesity as a chronic and multifactorial disease requires a multidisciplinary team acting together in a holistic multitarget intervention. Multidisciplinary therapy targeting obesity and its complications includes physical exercise, nutritional, and behavior counseling. When lifestyle changes are not sufficient in adults, medication prescription and bariatric surgery may be recommended. The aim of this narrative review is to summarize the underlying mechanisms and effects of multidisciplinary therapy in the control of obesity and its complications in adults. [Correction added on 21 January 2026, after first online publication: The previous sentence has been corrected in this version.] All types of clinical studies developed in an adult population were included. Different types of multidisciplinary therapy (short- and long-term) in the primary and secondary settings were identified. Multidisciplinary therapy seems to be useful in the control of adverse effects of obesity, including reductions in biomarkers of inflammation, cardiometabolic risk factors, dyslipidemia, diabetes, hypertension, metabolic syndrome, nonalcoholic fatty liver diseases, atherosclerosis, cardiovascular disease, obstructive sleep apnea, and psychosocial outcomes. These results highlight the importance of targeting obesity and its complications in a holistic approach with a multidisciplinary team acting together.
