Determinants of acute weight gain during regional conflict among individuals with overweight and obesity receiving targeted multidisciplinary care.

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
purposePeople living with obesity are susceptible to weight gain during periods of extreme stress. Identifying modifiable risk factors is crucial in regions affected by frequent conflict.
methodsWe therefore sent a survey to patients followed in a weight management clinic shortly after the 2023 onset of the Israel-Hamas war.
resultsResponses (n = 285) were collected for analysis a median of 58 days (IQR 48-58) after the conflict erupted and compared between subjects who did and did not experience acute, significant weight gain (≥ 3%). Median age was 57 (IQR 46-67) and 66.5% were female. Baseline median BMI was 33.2 kg/m
conclusionGiven that one quarter of subjects with overweight or obesity reported significant weight gain within two months of the outbreak of war, and that we identified modifiable risk factors, emphasis must be placed on maintaining healthy exercise and eating behaviors with consideration of AOMs. Level of evidence IV- cross-sectional retrospective study.
