Beneficial self-management support and user involvement in Healthy Life Centres-A qualitative interview study in persons afflicted by overweight or obesity.
Article in Health expectations : an international journal of public participation in health care and health policy, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundRelapse is high in lifestyle interventions involving behavioural change and weight loss maintenance. The purpose of lifestyle self-management interventions offered at Healthy Life Centres (HLCs) is to empower the participants, leading to self-management and improved health. Exploring beneficial self-management support and user involvement in HLCs is critical for quality, improving effectiveness and guiding approaches to lifestyle change support in overweight and obesity.
objectiveThe aim of this study was to explore how persons afflicted by overweight or obesity attending lifestyle interventions in Norwegian HLCs experience beneficial self-management support and user involvement.
methodSemi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted with 13 service users (5 men and 8 women). Data were analysed using qualitative content analysis.
resultsOne main theme was identified: regaining self-esteem and dignity through active involvement and long-term self-worth support in partnership with others. This main theme comprised four themes: (a) self-efficacy through active involvement and better perceived health, (b) valued through health-care professionals (HPs) acknowledgement, equality and individualized support, (c) increased motivation and self-belief through fellowship and peer support; and (d) maintenance of lifestyle change through accessibility and long-term support.
conclusionService users' active involvement, acknowledgement and long-term self-worth support from HPs and peers seem to support self-management and user involvement and may be some of the successful ingredients to lifestyle change. However, prolonged follow-up support is needed. A collectivistic and long-term perspective can integrate the importance of significant others and shared responsibility.
