Perceived Barriers to Weight Loss among Hispanic Patients with Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease.
Article in Hispanic health care international : the official journal of the National Association of Hispanic Nurses, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
introductionNon-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a growing problem in the United States and Hispanics experience the highest burden of this disease. Weight loss, physical activity (PA) and a healthy diet are the mainstay for NAFLD treatment, but patients experience barriers to behavior change. The purpose of this study was to identify barriers hindering Hispanic patients with NAFLD from making changes to PA and dietary habits.
methodsParticipants referred to a multidisciplinary clinic completed self-administered questionnaires that measured barriers to greater PA engagement and eating healthier, with both close-ended and open-ended responses. One bilingual coder reviewed and categorized all open-ended responses.
resultsThe study population included 414 patients. The top five barriers for eating healthier were cost, perceptions that healthier food does not taste good, lack of time to cook, difficulty of cooking, and difficulty in going to the grocery store. Lack of time, feeling lazy, pain, a lack of place to exercise, and the perception that exercise is difficult were the top five barriers to PA engagement.
conclusionsSince Hispanic adults with NAFLD experience similar barriers to Hispanic adults more generally, existing behavioral lifestyle interventions may work well in this clinical population with some adaption for NAFLD-specific education.
