Personalized group cognitive behavioural therapy for obesity: a longitudinal study in a real-world clinical setting.
Article in Eating and weight disorders : EWD, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05927337 (Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for Managing Obesity in People With Chronic Kidney Disease), which is not on this map. Cited by 12 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
purposeSevere obesity is difficult to treat, and non-surgical treatment is not supported by robust evidence. The aim of the present study was to establish the immediate and longer-term outcomes following "personalized" form of group cognitive behavioural therapy for obesity (CBT-OB)-a new treatment designed to address specific cognitive processes that have been associated with attrition, weight loss, and weight maintenance in previous studies.
methodsSixty-seven adult patients with obesity (body mass index (BMI) ≥ 30 kg/m
results76.2% patients completed the treatment, with an average weight loss of 11.5% after 6 months (10% in the intention-to-treat analysis) and 9.9% (7.5% in the intention-to-treat analysis) after 18 months. Weight loss was associated with a significant reduction in cardiovascular risk factors, anxiety, depression, and eating disorder psychopathology, and an improvement in obesity-related quality of life.
conclusionsThese findings provide strong preliminary support for the use of CBT-OB for obesity in standard clinical settings, and justify its further evaluation in randomized controlled trials. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level III, longitudinal cohort study.
