Developing culturally congruent weight maintenance programs for African American church members.
Article in Ethnicity & health, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
objectivesDeveloping community-based and culturally congruent weight loss maintenance programs is an important component of weight reduction interventions in high-risk populations. This qualitative investigation was conducted to guide development of faith-based weight maintenance programs for African American church members.
designTwenty African American church members who previously participated in a church-based group weight loss program were recruited to participate in focus groups. This qualitative inquiry focused on the role of faith in maintaining healthy lifestyle behaviors, such as healthy eating and regular physical activity. Within these groups, a nominal group process was used to identify activities and language to be included within a faith-based maintenance program.
resultsContent analysis identified seven conceptual domains that participants thought were important aspects of a faith-based weight maintenance program: (1) accountability for change targets, (2) programmatic tools, (3) group benefits and support, (4) keys to successful behavior change, (5) keys to church and programmatic level success, (6) addressing barriers, and (7) faith. The faith sub-domains included faith in the Lord, using the body for God, and a spiritual focus. The nominal group process resulted in 11 recommended components for a faith-based weight maintenance program. The top four included scriptures and prayers are 'walk of faith,' healthy diet, exercise, and focusing on God.
conclusionsThe results suggest that integrating faith themes into a weight loss maintenance program may increase its long-term impact on participants' health behavior change.
