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

Introduction: This study aims to compare the efficiency and outcomes in adults with obesity and intellectual and developmental disabilities in rural areas. Methods: Utilizing the administrative database of the rural health system and Nevada Medicaid (January 1, 2022 and December 31, 2024), 257 adults with obesity and with or without intellectual and developmental disabilities were identified. A propensity score was applied to match demographics and comorbidity conditions between subjects with and without intellectual and developmental disabilities. Logistic regression analysis was used to identify the factors associated with behavioral counseling for obesity. Results: Those with intellectual and developmental disabilities were less likely to have behavioral counseling for obesity than the non-intellectual and developmental disability cohort (16.9% vs 30.7%; OR=0.55; 95% CI=0.24, 0.89; Conclusions: Primary care workforce training is warranted to reduce health disparities by integrating behavioral counseling for obesity among those with special care needs as well as those with limited access to care.
