Results of a 2-year lifestyle intervention for type 2 diabetes: the Reach Ahead for Lifestyle and Health-Diabetes randomized controlled trial.
Trial report in Obesity (Silver Spring, Md.), 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
objectiveThe Reach Ahead for Lifestyle and Health (REAL HEALTH)-Diabetes study assessed the comparative effectiveness of two Look AHEAD (Action for Health in Diabetes)-adapted lifestyle intervention (LI) arms targeting weight loss in type 2 diabetes compared with medical nutrition therapy (MNT) referral. At 1 year, LI had greater weight loss than MNT. This study reports outcomes at 24 (end of LI) and 36 months.
methodsParticipants (N = 211) with type 2 diabetes and BMI > 25 kg/m
resultsParticipants were 61.7 (SD 10.2) years old; 55% were female; 77% were non-Hispanic White; and had mean (SD) weight of 98 (18.9) kg and mean (SD) HbA1c of 7.7% (1.2%). Mean (SD) weight change at 24 and 36 months was -4.4% (5.9%) and -4.4% (5.4%) in in-person LI, -4.0% (5.8%) and -5.3% (6.4%) in telephone LI, and -3.1% (5.2%) and -5.8% (7.1%) in MNT, with no statistically significant difference in weight or HbA1c at 24 and 36 months. Compared with MNT, LI arms had favorable changes in patient-reported outcomes related to learned dietary skills.
conclusionsThere were no differences in weight outcomes among LI participants compared with referral to MNT at the end of intervention or 1 year after its conclusion.
