Adherence to behavioral recommendations for weight loss and associated psychosocial factors among African American adults.
Article in Journal of behavioral medicine, 2020. 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
purposeTo identify patterns of behavioral adherence among 388 African Americans who participated in the Weight Loss Maintenance trial and examine associated psychosocial factors.
methodsUsing repeated measures latent class analysis, we modeled patterns of adherence to recommendations regarding fruit and vegetable, total fat, and saturated fat intake and physical activity at baseline, 6, and 18 months. Latent classes were compared on the SF-36 (mental health composite and vitality subscale), Perceived Stress Scale, and PHQ-8 at each time point.
resultsThree distinct latent classes emerged: Nutrition Adherers (n = 96); Physical Activity Adherers (n = 61); and Non-Adherers (n = 231). All groups showed initial improvement in psychosocial measures followed by relapse. Non-Adherers had significantly lower mean mental health and vitality scores and higher depression scores than adherers at 6 and 18 months.
conclusionPsychological well-being should be addressed with African Americans in weight loss treatment to enhance behavior change and improve weight loss outcomes.
