Intraclass correlation coefficients for weight loss cluster randomized trials in primary care: The PROPEL trial.
Trial report in Clinical obesity, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT02561221 (Promoting Successful Weight Loss in Primary Care in Louisiana), which is not on this map. Cited by 3 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.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to compute intra-class correlations (ICCs) for weight-related and patient-reported outcomes in a cluster randomized clinical trial (cRCT) for weight loss. Baseline and follow-up data from the Promoting Successful Weight Loss in Primary Care in Louisiana (PROPEL) cRCT were used in this analysis. ICCs were computed for baseline and follow-up measures, and changes in body weight, cardiometabolic risk factors and health-related and weight-related quality of life at 6, 12, 18 and 24 months. Baseline ICCs ranged from 0 for PROMIS measures of anxiety and fatigue to 0.055 for total cholesterol (median = 0.019). The ICCs were higher for changes and decreased over time during follow-up. The ICCs for changes were highest in the pooled sample (intervention and usual care combined) followed by the intervention and usual care groups, respectively. The results demonstrated significant ICCs for several outcomes in a weight loss cRCT. The ICCs differed in magnitude depending on whether baseline versus longitudinal data were used, whether data were combined across treatment arms or were considered separately, and varied across the follow-up period. All these factors must be considered when choosing an ICC to inform sample size estimates for future weight loss cRCTs conducted in primary care settings.
