Two-year weight trajectories following completion of a behavioral weight loss maintenance intervention.
Article in Obesity science & practice, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
introductionLong-term effects of behavioral weight loss maintenance interventions need to be assessed in order to understand their durability of effects. This can be evaluated with the use of weights recorded in the electronic medical record. The goal of this study was to use electronic health record (EHR)-recorded weight to examine outcomes 2 years beyond the completion of a trial in which participants were randomized to receive a weight maintenance intervention or usual care after required initial weight loss.
methodsWeights collected in the Veteran's Affairs national EHR were obtained for 2 years following trial completion. Outliers and implausible weights were identified and removed prior to analysis. Mixed-effects models with quadratic time were fit to estimate between-arm differences in weight change.
resultsModel-estimated weight at trial completion was 109.7 kg for usual care and 106.8 kg for intervention, estimated difference of -2.9 kg (95% confidence interval [CI]: -8.8, 3.0;
conclusionsWhile not statistically significant, weights from the EHR suggest the possibility of a clinically meaningful difference that should be confirmed by future adequately powered studies.
