Depressive symptom severity as a predictor of attendance in the HOME behavioral weight loss trial.
Article in Journal of psychosomatic research, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT02057952 (RCT of Video-Conference & In-Person Weight Loss Services for Adult CHC Patients), which is not on this map. Cited by 5 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
objectiveWe examined whether total depressive symptoms and symptom clusters predicted behavioral weight loss attendance among economically disadvantaged adults in a randomized controlled trial.
methods150 adults with obesity were randomized to 12 months of in-person, video conference, or enhanced usual care weight loss groups. We categorized percent session attendance in the intervention arms into three levels: no attendance, poorer attendance, and better attendance.
resultsHigher baseline Patient Health Questionnaire-8 (PHQ-8) score was associated with a greater odds of being in the poorer versus better attendance group (OR = 1.94, 95% CI: 1.02-3.69, p = .04). A similar relationship between PHQ-8 score and odds of being in the no attendance versus better attendance group was observed but was not statistically significant (OR = 1.63, 95% CI: 0.94-2.81, p = .08). Both cognitive/affective and somatic clusters contributed to the depressive symptoms-attendance relationships.
conclusionGreater depressive symptoms at the start of a behavioral weight loss program may predict poorer subsequent session attendance. Screening for and addressing depression may improve intervention uptake. ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02057952.
