Health and Wellness Coaching Improves Weight and Nutrition Behaviors.
Review 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 8 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
Most Americans have an eating pattern inconsistent with the Dietary Guidelines, putting them at risk for obesity and chronic disease. Health and wellness coaching (HWC) for lifestyle behavior change is emerging as a potentially effective tool to prevent and treat chronic disease. A systematic literature review identified 11 randomized controlled trials studying the use of HWC for improving nutrition-related biomarkers and eating behaviors. These trials demonstrate efficacy of HWC across diverse populations and treatment modalities. Almost all (82%) of the trials showed an improvement in at least one outcome. The most commonly studied outcomes were weight, blood pressure, and fruit, vegetable, and fat intake. There are several gaps in the research. The assessment of nutrition-related behaviors can be expanded to include assessment of diet quality and eating patterns associated with chronic disease prevention. Research is needed to evaluate HWC for nutrition-related biomarkers and behaviors in understudied populations with known health disparities. In addition, the health coaching dosage for long-term maintenance of changed outcomes and behaviors is inconsistent or unknown. These gaps will be important to address to determine policies and best practices for future application of HWC.
