Effectiveness of weight loss and maintenance interventions in women.
Synthesis in Current diabetes reports, 2004. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Overweight and obesity in women contribute to increased risk of many health problems, including type 2 diabetes. A systematic review of the weight loss literature found 17 articles in which women were the sole subjects and studies were a minimum of 1 year or longer in duration. Data were pooled and average weight loss and maintenance for women at 6 and 12 months was determined for each of the six interventions. Diet as the primary intervention resulted in a weight loss of approximately 7 kg at 6 months (approximately 13% of their initial weight), which was maintained to 12 months. When specific goals for physical activity or weight loss medications were combined with diet, better outcomes were experienced. Regardless of the intervention, at approximately 6 months a weight loss plateau occurred. All of the studies included at least monthly follow-up.
