Randomized Controlled Trial of Behavioral Weight Loss and Stepped Care for Binge-Eating Disorder: 12-Month Follow-up.
Trial report in Obesity (Silver Spring, Md.), 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 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
objectiveThis study aimed to examine longer-term effects of behavioral weight loss (BWL) and Stepped Care for binge-eating disorder and obesity through 12-month follow-up after completing treatments.
methodsA total of 191 patients with binge-eating disorder/obesity were randomized to 6 months of BWL (n = 39) or Stepped Care (n = 152). Within Stepped Care, patients began BWL (1 month), treatment responders continued BWL, nonresponders switched to cognitive behavioral therapy, and all were randomized (double-blind) to weight-loss medication or placebo (5 months). Patients were independently assessed throughout/after treatment and at 6- and 12-month follow-ups.
resultsIntent-to-treat analyses of remission rates revealed that BWL and Stepped Care did not differ significantly at posttreatment (74.4% vs. 66.5%), 6-month follow-up (38.2% vs. 33.3%), or 12-month follow-up (44.7% vs. 41.0%). Mixed models of binge-eating frequency indicated significant reductions through posttreatment but no significant changes or differences between BWL and Stepped Care during follow-up. Mixed models revealed significant weight loss with no differences between BWL and Stepped Care (5.1% vs. 5.8%) at posttreatment and significant time effects (larger percent weight loss at 6-month than at 12-month follow-up) with no differences between BWL and Stepped Care (-5.1% vs. -5.2% and -3.4% vs. -5.0%, respectively).
conclusionsBinge-eating improvements and weight loss produced by BWL and adaptive Stepped Care did not differ significantly 12 months after completing treatments.
