From your first one.

This finding should be interpreted with caution, given the small magnitude of overall and between-group differences in weight loss in these markedly obese subjects and the short duration of the study.
Also no information about the specifics of the diet.

Change in body weight and body fat percentage did not differ between the diet groups overall.

And here is one of my own

Quote:
RESULTS: Assuming no change from baseline for participants who discontinued the study, mean (SD) weight loss at 1 year was 2.1 (4.8) kg for Atkins (21 [53%] of 40 participants completed, P = .009), 3.2 (6.0) kg for Zone (26 [65%] of 40 completed, P = .002), 3.0 (4.9) kg for Weight Watchers (26 [65%] of 40 completed, P < .001), and 3.3 (7.3) kg for Ornish (20 [50%] of 40 completed, P = .007). Greater effects were observed in study completers

We can throw studies back and forth at each other, but I still say that someone who make the bold claims of "Carbs make you fat" have the burden of proof. I've seen nothing definitive.
