Predictors and significance of rapid response to behaviorally based treatment of binge eating disorder.
Trial report in Obesity (Silver Spring, Md.), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the 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.
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
objectiveThis study examined baseline predictors of rapid response and its prognostic significance in a clinical trial of behaviorally based weight loss treatment (BBWLT) for binge eating disorder in patients with obesity.
methodsOne hundred ninety-one participants receiving BBWLT were assessed at baseline, throughout treatment, and at posttreatment (6 months) by independent assessors. Rapid response was defined as ≥ 65% reduction in binge eating by the fourth treatment week. Patients with versus without rapid response were compared on demographic features, a broad range of current/past clinical and psychiatric variables, and treatment attitudes. Rapid response was used to prospectively predict posttreatment outcomes.
resultsRapid response, which characterized 63% (N = 120) of participants, was not associated significantly with any demographic features or with any current/past clinical and psychiatric variables. Higher ratings (at week one) regarding the logic of BBWLT and greater confidence that treatment would help with binge eating and weight loss were associated significantly with rapid response (at week four). Rapid response was prospectively associated with significantly better binge eating and weight loss outcomes.
conclusionsThese findings indicate that rapid response to BBWLT for binge eating disorder prospectively predicts superior clinical outcomes in both binge eating and weight loss. Treatment attitudes, rather than patient demographic or clinical severity variables, are prospectively associated with rapid response.
