Filipinos Fit and Trim - A feasible and efficacious DPP-based intervention trial.
Article in Contemporary clinical trials communications, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It has been retracted, and should not be counted. It is linked to trial NCT02278939 (Filipinos Fit and Trim Weight Loss for Diabetes Prevention Program), which is not on this map.

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
introductionFilipino Americans are at higher risk for obesity and related Type 2 diabetes (T2D) compared to other Asian subgroups and non-Hispanic whites. Yet, there are limited research studies to reduce health disparities and improve health outcomes for Filipinos. Weight loss lifestyle intervention trials such as the Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) can reduce obesity and T2D risks through physical activity and healthy eating.
methodsThus, we conducted a pilot Fit&Trim (DPP-based) intervention study - a randomized controlled trial 3-month intervention augmented with mobile technology + 3-month maintenance follow-up with a waitlist control. The objective assessed the intervention feasibility and potential efficacy to reduce T2D risks in Filipino Americans with overweight/obesity. The overall study goal was a mean 5% weight reduction.
resultsSixty-seven eligible Filipino men and women were enrolled and randomized to either an intervention or waitlist control group. Participant retention was 91%. In
conclusionThe Fit&Trim intervention demonstrated feasibility and potential efficacy for Filipino Americans. Findings warrant a further larger, longer trial to test the Fit&Trim feasibility and effectiveness in a real-world Filipino community setting. CLINICALTRIALSGOV REGISTRATION NUMBER: NCT02278939.
