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

Background: We aimed to investigate the overall effectiveness of a comprehensive management mode for overweight/obesity based on mobile internet technology and TCM constitution theory. Methods: 40 subjects were enrolled and randomly divided into control group (traditional obesity management mode) and intervention group (comprehensive obesity management mode). The intervention period was 8 weeks, and the follow-up period was 1 year. The information of body indicators, blood indicators and gut microbiota indicators at baseline, 8 weeks and 1 year were collected and analyzed, the primary outcome was the effective weight loss (≥5% body weight loss) rate at 1 year. Results: The average age of 40 subjects was 40.3 ± 9.49 years old, with 18 males accounting for 45%. The effective weight loss rate of intervention group was significantly higher than control group (75% vs. 35%; Conclusion: The comprehensive overweight/obesity management mode integrating mHealth with TCM constitution showed more significant long-term weight loss effects. The increase of Cyanobacteria and decrease of Euryarchaeota may be associated with this effect, warranting further investigation.
