DIAL now protocol: A randomized trial examining the provision of phone coaching to those with sub-optimal early weight loss during an Internet weight management program.
Article in Contemporary clinical trials, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
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
backgroundWhile low-intensity Internet-delivered weight loss (IDWL) programs are efficacious, many patients fail to achieve clinically significant weight loss (WL). Given the positive association between 4-week and post-treatment WL, providing a more intensive intervention for those with sub-optimal 4-week WL may improve outcomes for a greater proportion of individuals. This stepped-care approach would minimize cost by reserving more aggressive treatment for those with sub-optimal early WL.
objectiveThis randomized trial examines whether the provision of brief or extended phone coaching for those with sub-optimal early WL improves 4- and 12-month WL when compared to no coaching. Secondary aims include examination of cost/kg WL and intervention engagement.
methods450 individuals (age 18-70 years, BMI: 25-45 kg/m DISCUSSION: Study findings can inform the development of more effective IDWL programs. This model which provides additional support to those with sub-optimal early WL can easily be translated into healthcare and community settings.
