Effects of a behavioural weight loss intervention in people with serious mental illness: Subgroup analyses from the ACHIEVE trial.
Trial report in Obesity research & clinical practice. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundPersons with serious mental illnesses (SMI) such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder have an increased risk of obesity and related chronic diseases and die 10-20years earlier than the overall population, primarily due to cardiovascular disease. In the ACHIEVE trial, a behavioural weight loss intervention led to clinically significant weight loss in persons with SMI. As the field turns its attention to intervention scale-up, it is important to understand whether the effectiveness of behavioural weight loss interventions for people with SMI, like ACHIEVE, differ for specific subgroups.
methodsThis study examined whether the effectiveness of the ACHIEVE intervention differed by participant characteristics (e.g. age, sex, race, psychiatric diagnosis, body mass index) and/or their weight-related attitudes and behaviours (e.g. eating, food preparation, and shopping habits). We used likelihood-based mixed effects models to examine whether the baseline to 18 month effects of the ACHIEVE intervention differed across subgroups.
resultsNo statistically significant differences were found in the effectiveness of the ACHIEVE intervention across any of the subgroups examined.
conclusionsThese findings suggest that the ACHIEVE behavioural weight loss intervention is broadly applicable to the diverse population of individuals with SMI.
