Interest, Resources, and Preferences for Weight Loss Programs among Primary Care Patients with Obesity.
Article in Patient education and counseling, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
objectiveTo examine interest, resources, and preferences for weight loss programs among primary care patients with obesity.
methodsPrimary care patients having a BMI ≥30 kg/m
resultsA total of 77 patients completed the anonymous survey. Nearly 90% of patients were interested in participating in a weight loss program and reported having a smartphone. Approximately 80% had high-speed internet and a device with videoconferencing capabilities, whereas only 40% had a tablet or laptop computer. On average, patients preferred weight loss programs delivered in-person and led by a nutritionist or personal trainer. Patients' top three preferences for weight loss content included goal setting, staying motivated, and finding ways to be more active.
conclusionsAlthough primary care patients with obesity were interested in weight loss programs, availability of resources and preferred program characteristics varied. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS: This study provides insight on patient interest, resources, and preferences for weight loss programs that may help guide the development of future programs.
