Evaluating the efficacy of mindfulness and acceptance-based treatment components for weight loss: Protocol for a multiphase optimization strategy trial.
Article in Contemporary clinical trials, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06292936 (Evaluation of a Remotely-Delivered Behavioral Intervention for Post-Bariatric Surgery Weight Regain), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
Behavioral weight loss treatment (BT) for individuals with overweight and obesity is effective but leaves room for improvement. Mindfulness and acceptance-based treatments may bolster weight loss outcomes; yet, little is known about the efficacy of the individual components or the combinations of components that are most effective in producing weight loss above and beyond standard BT strategies for weight loss. This protocol manuscript describes the use of a multiphase optimization strategy to evaluate the independent and combinatory efficacy of three mindfulness and acceptance-based components (mindful awareness, willingness, values). Using a 2 × 2 × 2 factorial design, participants (N = 288) will be randomized to one of eight conditions, each representing a combination of core MABT strategies in addition to foundational BT strategies. Assessments occur at baseline, mid-treatment (week 24 through 26), post-treatment, and at 6, 12, and 24-month follow-up. The primary aim is to elucidate the independent efficacy of each MABT component on weight loss above gold-standard BT. The secondary aims are to evaluate the independent effect of these components on calorie intake, physical activity, and overall quality of life; evaluate target engagement (i.e., the degree to which each treatment component affects proposed mechanisms of action); and evaluate the potential moderating effect of susceptibility to internal and external food cues on outcomes. The exploratory aim is to quantify any component interaction effects (which may be synergistic, fully additive, or partially additive).
