Team-based "Get-a-Grip" lifestyle management programme in the treatment of obesity.
Article in Preventive medicine reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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.
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
This study examined weight loss during an extensive 1-year lifestyle programme in primary care in Finland in overweight subjects (n = 134, age 18-69 years; BMI > 30, or BMI > 25 with a comorbidity that would benefit from weight loss) between 2009 and 2013 in a single arm design. The programme included four medical doctor visits, five sessions by a dietitian (advice on diet and on-location shopping behaviour), cooking classes, exercise supervised by personal trainer, and group discussions. A motivational interview method was applied. Of the 134 participants, 92 (69%) completed the 1-year programme. Among the participants 44% lost ≥ 5%, while 21% lost ≥ 10% of their initial body weight. In intention-to-treat-analyses, the mean weight loss during one year was 4.8 kg (p < 0.001). Mean BMI decreased by 1.7 kg/m
