Behavioural and psychological pretreatment predictors of short- and long-term weight loss among women with overweight and obesity.
Trial report 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 NCT00513084 (Moderators and Mediators of Physical Activity, Body Weight, and Body Composition Change During Obesity Treatment in Women), 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.

Abstract
purposeThis study aims at identifying behavioural and psychological pretreatment predictors of 12- and 36-month weight loss in women with overweight/obesity enrolled in a behavioural weight management intervention.
methodsA sample of 221 women participated in a randomized controlled trial on weight management (n
resultsFewer weight loss attempts in the last year positively predicted weight loss at 12 months in the intervention group, explaining 6% of the variance. At 36 months, in the intervention group, 20.2% of the variance in weight change was explained by lower eating disinhibition and higher weight-related quality of life in completers-only analyses, while baseline observation carried forward analyses explained only 9.8% of the variance in weight change via higher self-esteem and lower weight loss expectations. In the control group, higher exercise self-efficacy and a more internal weight locus of control predicted weight loss at 36 months, explaining 13.9% of the variance (completers-only analyses).
conclusionsPrevious weight loss attempts were identified as the most efficient pretreatment predictor of 12-month weight loss. Eating disinhibition, weight-related quality of life, self-esteem, weight loss expectations, exercise self-efficacy, and weight locus of control seem to be key factors for long-term success.
