Dyadic Dynamics in a Randomized Weight Loss Intervention.
Trial report in Annals of behavioral medicine : a publication of the Society of Behavioral Medicine, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT00200330 (Modifying Obesogenic Homes), which is not on this map. Cited by 20 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

Abstract
backgroundDespite health and economic burdens associated with overweight and obesity, long-term weight loss intervention efforts have been largely unsuccessful. Observations that weight status tends to cluster in social groups, and findings showing "ripple" effects of weight change within social clusters, raise questions about the impact of social relationships on weight loss. PURPOSE: Through a reanalysis of data from a randomized weight loss intervention, this study compared dyadic dynamics in intervention participants and in-home partners.
methodsOver the course of 18 months, data was collected from 201 pairs enrolled in either behavioral weight loss treatment (BWL) or treatment including partners and providing items to facilitate healthy choices at home (BWL + H). Using a dyadic growth curve model, covariance between baseline BMI, BMI change trajectories, and starting BMI and BMI trajectory for both the self and the other were examined.
resultsThere were strong indicators of dependence in the data. Baseline BMI was positively correlated for both treatment groups. In the BWL + H condition, BMI change trajectories were positively correlated. In the BWL condition, this reversed: Change trajectories were negatively correlated. Additionally, partner BMI and primary participant BMI change were positively correlated, indicating that a heavier partner at baseline related to less weight loss.
conclusionsSocial relationships exert a significant influence on weight loss outcomes. Depending on the intervention group, these influences may help (BWL + H) or hinder (BWL). It may be that home intervention changed social support and interaction in important ways and that these effects could be effectively harnessed to implement more effective interventions (NCT00200330).
