Effectiveness of a web-based real-life weight management program: Study design, methods, and participants' baseline characteristics.
Article in Contemporary clinical trials communications, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04019249 (HealthyWeightHub.fi), which is not on this map. Cited by 11 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.

Abstract
Obesity is an important public health concern with limited effective treatment options. Internet-based technologies offer a cost-effective means to treat obesity. However, most of the online programs have been of short duration, have focused on a limited number of treatment modalities, and have not utilized the potential of coaching as part of the intervention. In this paper, we present the design, methods and participants' baseline characteristics in a real-life internet-based weight management program. Healthy Weight Coaching (HWC) is a 12-month web-based intervention for the management of obesity. The program is based on the Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and includes themes important for weight loss, including diet, physical activity, psychological factors, and sleep. In addition to the automated, interactive program, a personal coach is allocated to each participant. The participants are nationally enrolled through referrals from primary care, occupational health, hospitals, and private health care units. Adult individuals with BMI ≥25 kg/m
