Using participant feedback to improve two selective eating disorder and obesity prevention programs.
Trial report in Eating behaviors, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
objectiveTo examine qualitative feedback from participants of Healthy Weight and Project Health eating disorder/obesity prevention programs to guide refinements to increase program efficacy.
methodFeedback was collected from college students with weight concerns randomly assigned to one of these interventions (N = 364, 72% female).
resultsHealthy Weight participants reported greater program satisfaction (p = 0.02); no other quantitative differences emerged in opinions of the program or leaders. Project Health participants most valued goal setting (27%), the group setting (23%), and the provided information (16%). Healthy Weight participants most valued the group setting (21%), goal setting (19%), and accountability for behavior change (18%). Project Health participants reported home exercises most frequently as least valuable (22%), followed by role-plays (13%). Healthy Weight participants most frequently reported "nothing" as least valuable (24%), followed by food/exercise logs (9%). The top suggestion from participants from both groups was to add interactive activities.
conclusionsWeight gain preventive effects of Project Health were stronger, but Healthy Weight participants were more satisfied, perhaps because Project Health incorporates dissonance-induction strategies which produce psychological discomfort that promotes internalization of health lifestyle goals. Both interventions could be made more interactive by adding group exercises, encouraging group connection via social media, and adding icebreakers.
