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.

2 · The registry

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

objectiveAlthough altered reward processing is proposed to play a key role in obesity maintenance, the role of food enjoyment and enjoyment of non-food naturally rewarding activities ("non-food enjoyment") in obesity maintenance remains unknown. This study examined how food and non-food enjoyment were associated with baseline body mass index (BMI) and weight loss (WL) following year-long behavioral WL treatment.

methodsAt baseline, participants (M

resultsEMA and retrospective food/non-food enjoyment measures had modest concordance, providing preliminary psychometric support for the EMA measures. Partially consistent with hypotheses, greater EMA food enjoyment was associated with lower BMI (B = -1.03, p = .01) and with greater WL, though the latter association was not statistically significant (B = 1.15, p = .07). Exploratory analyses suggested that race was associated with food enjoyment (non-White participants had greater food enjoyment than White participants, d = 0.81, p = .005), and that race may have affected associations between food enjoyment and weight outcomes. Associations between non-food enjoyment and weight outcomes were small and nonsignificant (ps > .93).

conclusionsResults suggest enjoyment from food, but not from non-food domains, is associated with weight outcomes.
