Weight Loss After Stroke Through an Intensive Lifestyle Intervention (Group Lifestyle Balance-Cerebrovascular Accident): Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial.
Article in JMIR research protocols, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03873467 (Efficacy of an Evidence-based Healthy Lifestyle Intervention for People Following CVA), which is not on this 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.

Abstract
backgroundWeight gain can be a consequence of stroke, or cerebrovascular accident (CVA), because of impaired mobility, behavioral and emotional disorders, and sensory losses. Weight gain increases the patient's risk of recurrent stroke and chronic diseases, such as diabetes, metabolic syndrome, and pulmonary and heart disease. Approaches to weight loss in this population are lacking, although necessary because of the unique physiological and cognitive needs of persons after a stroke. Evidence shows that intensive behavioral therapy interventions that address both physical activity and diet offer the greatest potential for weight loss. The Group Lifestyle Balance (GLB) intervention is a 12-month, evidence-based weight loss program that has been used extensively with the general population; this program was modified to meet the needs of people who have had a stroke (GLB-CVA).
objectiveThis randomized controlled trial (RCT) aims to examine the efficacy of the GLB-CVA on weight and secondary outcomes, compared with that of a waitlist control group.
methodsThis RCT will enroll and randomize 64 patients over an 18-month period.
resultsCurrently, 51 people are waitlisted, with 23 out of 51 screened and 16 out of 23 eligible.
conclusionsIt is anticipated that the findings from this RCT will contribute to the evidence base regarding weight loss strategies for people living with stroke. CLINICAL TRIAL: ClinicalTrials.gov NCT03873467; https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT03873467.
