Case Series in Lifestyle Medicine: A Team Approach to Behavior Changes.
Article in American journal of lifestyle medicine. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
As the number of people living with chronic diseases climbs upward, novel methods to address the root causes of these disease are necessary to transform the state of our nation's health and our health care system. Interventions directed at making lasting lifestyle changes can have a major impact on the overall health of patients. In this pilot study, 4 obese patients, with unhealthy habits and abnormal blood profiles and biometrics, were able to significantly improve their lifestyles and their lab values with the 3-month intervention of a lifestyle medicine team, including a physician trained in lifestyle medicine, a certified wellness coach, a licensed nutrition specialist, a physical therapist, and a licensed mental health professional. Two patients had type 2 diabetes, and all 4 were hypertensive (blood pressure > 120/80 mm Hg). After the intervention, all improved their nutrition and increased their physical activity. In addition, all experienced improvements in lipid counts, blood pressure, weight loss, and cholesterol. The diabetic patients' levels of hemoglobin A1C dropped to normal. These successes show the benefits of a lifestyle medicine team approach.
