1 · What the graph read from 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.

Abstract

objectiveThis study evaluated whether the transition of a face-to-face behavioral intervention to videoconferencing-based telehealth delivery during the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in significantly smaller weight losses than those typically observed in gold-standard, face-to-face programs.

methodsParticipants were 160 adults with obesity (mean [SD] age = 49.2 [11.9] years, BMI = 36.1 [4.2] kg/m

resultsFrom baseline to postintervention, participants lost an average of 7.4 [4.9] kg, representing a reduction of 7.2% [4.6%]. This magnitude of weight change was significantly greater than 5.5% (t[159] = 4.7, p < 0.001), and, thus, was within the proposed noninferiority margin.

conclusionsThese findings demonstrate that the results of behavioral weight-management interventions are robust, whether delivered in person or remotely, and that individuals can achieve clinically meaningful benefits from behavioral treatment even during a global pandemic. Pragmatic "lessons learned," including modified trial recruitment techniques, are discussed.
