POWERSforID: Personalized online weight and exercise response system for individuals with intellectual disability: A randomized controlled trial.
Trial report in Disability and health journal, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundObesity is associated with early mortality and chronic disease among adults with intellectual disability (ID), yet there is a paucity of effective weight management interventions for this population. OBJECTIVE/HYPOTHESIS: This pilot study examined a tailored intervention on weight loss, waist circumference, A1c, and lipid profile among adults with ID.
methodsObese adults (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m
resultsThe intervention group reduced body weight by an average of 2.7% (-2.6 kg; p = 0.02) and waist circumference by 3.4% (-3.89 cm; p = 0.02) versus the comparison. There were no statistically significant group by time interactions observed among other variables.
conclusionAdults with ID who received the intervention were able to maintain or slightly reduce their body weight and waist circumference after the 24-week intervention. Despite not achieving the targeted sample size, the pilot study findings serve as a basis for developing accessible weight management interventions for people with ID.
