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: Unhealthy eating patterns, physical inactivity and alcohol misuse are commonly reported by individuals with severe mental illness (SMI) and significantly contribute to premature mortality. People with SMI could benefit from psychoeducational interventions focused on lifestyle modification. Aims: To evaluate the effectiveness of the LIFESTYLE programme to improve dietary habits and physical activity levels and reduce alcohol use in individuals with SMI versus controls receiving a less structured psychoeducational programme (Italian Ministry of University and Research, trial registration number: 2015C7374S). Method: This multicentre randomised controlled trial (RCT) was conducted across six Italian universities and included 401 participants diagnosed with SMI, randomly allocated to either the test group or a comparison group. Results: At 1-year follow-up, generalised estimating equations showed that the trial intervention boosted the likelihood of higher weekly metabolic equivalents of task (METs) expended on total activity (odds ratio 1.43, 95% CI 1.08-1.89; Conclusions: The LIFESTYLE intervention proved effective in promoting healthier lifestyles among individuals with SMI, with sustained benefits at 1 year. This structured programme could be a valuable addition to routine mental healthcare.
