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

The prevalence of overweight and obesity and examined associated dietary factors among 138 medical students in Kancheepuram is of interest. Anthropometric measurements were recorded and dietary patterns were analyzed using a validated food frequency questionnaire. The overall prevalence of overweight and obesity was 34.1% and 11.6%, respectively. High fast-food consumption, frequent late-night eating and low fruit intake were significantly associated with elevated BMI. Thus, we show the need for targeted nutritional interventions within medical student populations.
