Provider Counseling and Weight Loss Outcomes in a Primary Care-Based Digital Obesity Treatment.
Article in Journal of general internal medicine, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT01827800 (New Media Obesity Treatment in Community Health Centers), which is not on this map. Cited by 7 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

Abstract
backgroundPrimary care-based digital health weight loss interventions offer promise for addressing obesity in underserved populations.
objectivesTo determine if primary care providers' weight counseling is associated with weight change during a weight loss intervention.
designThis is a secondary analysis of a randomized clinical trial testing a 12-month primary care-based digital health weight loss intervention.
participantsParticipants were community health center patients with body mass indexes of 30-44.9 kg/m
interventionsThe weight loss intervention included tailored behavioral goal setting; weekly goal monitoring via text messaging or interactive voice response calls; counseling calls; skills training material; and participant-tailored recommendations for provider counseling. MAIN MEASURES: At 6 and 12 months, participants' weight was measured and they reported if their provider delivered weight counseling (general or intervention-specific) at their most recent visit and their perception of providers' empathy. Providers' documentation of weight counseling was extracted from health records. KEY
resultsParticipants (n = 134-141) were predominantly female (70%) and African American (55%) with a mean age of 51 years and BMI of 36 kg/m
conclusionsProvider counseling that focuses specifically on engagement in a weight loss intervention may enhance weight loss outcomes relative to more general weight loss advice. Counseling that enhances patients' perceptions of empathy may be most beneficial for patients' weight loss.
