Telemedicine-Based Health Coaching Is Effective for Inducing Weight Loss and Improving Metabolic Markers.
Trial report in Telemedicine journal and e-health : the official journal of the American Telemedicine Association, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to 2 registered trials, which are not on this map. Cited by 43 papers, 6 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.
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.

Abstract
backgroundTo assess the efficacy of health coaching (HC) delivered through videoconferencing (VC) to favorably change physical activity (PA), weight, and metabolic markers in adults with high body mass index (BMI). MATERIALS AND
methodsThirty adults (BMI ≥30 kg/m
resultsWithin- and between-group changes in weight (kg), glucose, insulin, hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), and Homeostasis Model Assessment estimate of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) were analyzed through analyses of variance. Weight loss was greater (p < 0.05) for VC (8.23 ± 4.5 kg; 7.7%) than IP (3.2 ± 2.6 kg; 3.4%) and CG (2.9 ± 3.9 kg; 3.3%), respectively. Steps/day were significantly higher in VC than IP at week 4 and VC was significantly higher than the CG at weeks 6, 8, 9, and 11 (p ≤ 0.05). No within- or between-group differences were found for glucose, insulin, or HbA1C. HOMA-IR decreased for VC only (p ≤ 0.05).
conclusionsOur innovative, multidisciplinary, telemedicine HC delivered through VC led to more favorable changes in weight loss, PA (steps/day), and HOMA-IR than IP or no HC. VC may be an economical approach to improve health and promote behavior change in obese adults. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: ClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT03278951.
