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: Metabolic health differs substantially among adults with obesity, and dietary structure may contribute to this heterogeneity. In Ordos, Inner Mongolia, beef and mutton are common food sources within a livestock-oriented dietary setting rather than merely generic red-meat exposures. Methods: We analyzed 1,103 adults with obesity from the 2024 Ordos Region Residents' Health White Paper survey. Dietary intake was assessed using an 83-item region-specific semi-quantitative food-frequency questionnaire and expressed as the percentage of total energy intake from 16 mutually exclusive food groups. Associations with metabolically unhealthy obesity (MUO) were evaluated using multivariable logistic regression, restricted cubic splines, and all-components isocaloric substitution models. Results: Overall, 440 (39.9%) were classified as metabolically healthy obesity (MHO) and 663 (60.1%) as MUO. In fully adjusted models, beef and mutton intake was inversely associated with MUO (OR per 5%E = 0.821, 95% CI: 0.719-0.933; Conclusion: Among adults with obesity in Ordos, higher dietary energy from beef and mutton within the regional dietary structure was associated with lower odds of MUO in selected modeled substitution contrasts. These context-specific, cross-sectional findings require confirmation in prospective studies.
