Evaluating environmental and inhibitory control strategies to improve outcomes in a widely available weight loss program.
Trial report in Contemporary clinical trials, 2022. 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
backgroundAlthough many people try to lose weight, a large proportion of individuals do not achieve clinically significant weight loss. Nonresponse and relapse rates in lifestyle interventions are largely explained by challenges in avoiding or resisting temptation in the context of omnipresent food access. Innovative enhancement strategies are needed to help individuals manage temptation in evidence-based lifestyle interventions.
methodsThis prospective, four-parallel-arm, randomized controlled trial tests the efficacy of two weight management enhancement strategies on weight and dietary outcomes among individuals with overweight or obesity: (1) an environmental control strategy combining modification of the home food environment and grocery delivery (AVOID) and (2) an impulse control strategy involving daily, gamified inhibitory control training (RESIST). Women and men (n = 500) with overweight or obesity (Body Mass Index between 25 and 40.0 kg/m DISCUSSION: This research addresses the pragmatic question of how to best optimize behavior change: Should we modify the choice environment, strengthen individuals' self-regulation, or both, to maximize behavior change? This work can inform the development of enhancement strategies to promote adherence to lifestyle recommendations and other impulse control challenges.
