1 · What the graph read from 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.

Abstract

objectiveIndependent trials have found that the dissonance-based Body Project eating disorder prevention program is efficacious and effective; the present trial provided the first test of whether delivery could be task-shifted from clinician-delivery to peer educator-delivery or Internet-delivery without loss of effectiveness through 4-year follow-up.

methodYoung women at high-risk for eating disorders because of body image concerns (N = 680, Mage = 22.2) recruited at 3 colleges were randomized to clinician-led Body Project groups, peer-led Body Project groups, the Internet-based eBody Project, or educational video control.

resultsParticipants in clinician- and peer-led Body Project groups and the eBody Project generally showed larger reductions in risk factors and eating disorder symptoms versus controls through 1- and 2-year follow-up (d = .16-.59), with some effects persisting through 3- and 4-year follow-ups (d = .28-.58). Peer-led Body Project participants showed greater reductions in some risk factors than eBody Project participants (d = .18-.19), but no other contrasts between Body Project interventions differed. Eating disorder onset over 4-year follow-up was significantly lower for peer-led Body Project participants (8.1%) than control participants (17.6%) and clinician-led Body Project participants (19.3%), and marginally lower than eBody Project participants (15.5%).

conclusionsThe evidence that all three Body Project interventions outperformed educational video controls, peer-led groups outperformed the Internet-based intervention, and peer-led groups showed lower eating disorder onset over 4-year follow-up than the other conditions are novel. Results imply that it might be optimal to task-shift Body Project delivery to peer-leaders to address implementation barriers associated with clinician-led delivery.
