A Retrospective Analysis of Employee Education Level on Weight Loss Following Participation in an Online, Corporately Sponsored, Weight Loss Program.
Article in Journal of occupational and environmental medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
objectiveTo examine weight loss characteristics relative to education for employees participating in an online weight loss program.
methodsWe examined percent weight loss (primary outcome), the achievement of clinical cut-points (secondary outcome) by class attendance, and education strata (High School and Trade through Post-Graduate).
resultsOverall, the pooled cohort lost a significant percentage of their starting weight (-2.05%, 95% CI, -2.07, -2.04). Women (-1.95%, 95% CI, -1.97, -1.94) lost significantly less than men (-2.38%, 95% CI, -2.141, -2.35). Those attending less than or equal to seven classes lost significantly less weight (0.75% [95% CI, -0.77, -0.74] vs more than or equal to eight classes attendees [-3.50%, 95% CI, -3.52, -3.48]). Class attendance was significantly correlated to weight loss (r = 0.57, P < 0.001) and was consistent across education strata.
conclusionsOnline weight loss programming is effective across education strata and class participation is essential to participant success.
