Long-term impact of a behavioral weight management program on depression and anxiety symptoms: 5-year follow-up of the WRAP 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 7 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
objectiveBehavioral weight management programs may support short-term mental health; however, limited evidence reports the long-term impacts. This study investigated the impact of behavioral weight management programs on depression and anxiety symptoms at 5 years from baseline.
methodsThe Weight loss Referrals for Adults in Primary care (WRAP) trial randomized 1267 adults with BMI ≥ 28 kg/m
resultsA total of 643 (51%) participants attended the 5-year study follow-up visit. There was no evidence of a difference between the randomized groups for 5-year changes in depression (BI: -0.08 ± 3.29; CP12: 0.02 ± 3.01; CP52: -0.09 ± 3.41) or anxiety (BI: 0.16 ± 3.50; CP12: -0.05 ± 3.55; CP52: -0.66 ± 3.59) symptoms.
conclusionsThis study found no evidence that commercial weight management programs differed in 5-year changes in depression and anxiety symptoms, compared with BI. These are average effects; some individuals experienced increases or decreases in symptoms. Future research should investigate who is at most risk of mental health declines and investigate how to support them. Future trials should transparently report long-term mental health outcomes to strengthen understanding.
