Effect of a lifestyle intervention on change in cardiorespiratory fitness in adults with type 2 diabetes: results from the Look AHEAD Study.
Trial report in International journal of obesity (2005), 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT01262313 (Healthy Creations), which is not on this map. Cited by 87 papers, 5 of them syntheses 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.

Abstract
objectiveTo examine the effect of an intensive lifestyle weight loss intervention (ILI) compared to diabetes support and education (DSE) on changes in fitness and physical activity in the Look AHEAD trial.
designRandomized clinical trial to compare a lifestyle intervention for weight loss with a DSE condition in individuals with type 2 diabetes. SUBJECTS: Data from 4376 overweight or obese adults with type 2 diabetes (age=58.7+/-6.8 years, body mass index (BMI)=35.8+/-5.8 kg/m(2)) who completed 1 year of the Look AHEAD trial and had available fitness data were analyzed.
interventionSubjects were randomly assigned to DSE or ILI. DSE received standard care plus three education sessions over the 1-year period. ILI included individual and group contact throughout the year, restriction in energy intake and 175 min per week of prescribed physical activity. MEASUREMENTS: Fitness was assessed using a submaximal graded exercise test. Physical activity was assessed by questionnaire in a subset of 2221 subjects.
resultsChange in fitness was statistically greater in ILI vs DSE after adjustment for baseline fitness (20.9 vs 5.7%; P<0.0001). Multivariate analysis showed that change in fitness was greater in overweight vs obese Class II and III (P<0.05). Physical activity increased by 892+/-1694 kcal per week in ILI vs 108+/-1254 kcal per week in DSE (P<0.01). Changes in fitness (r=0.41) and physical activity (r=0.42) were significantly correlated with weight loss (P<0.0001).
conclusionsThe ILI was effective in increasing physical activity and improving cardiorespiratory fitness in overweight and obese individuals with type 2 diabetes. This effect may add to weight loss in improving metabolic control in patients in lifestyle intervention programs.
