The STAR-MAMA RCT: Bilingual Mobile Health Coaching for Postpartum Weight Loss.
Trial report in American journal of preventive medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT02240420 (Reaching High Risk Post-partum Women for Nutritional Assessment and Counseling Via a Telephone-based Coaching Program), which is not on this map. Cited by 4 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
The trial behind it

Abstract
introductionGestational diabetes and overweight during pregnancy are associated with future type 2 diabetes. Postpartum weight loss can reduce diabetes risk. However, effective interventions for postpartum weight loss are lacking, in particular for Latina populations, despite their disproportionate burdens of gestational diabetes, overweight, and diabetes. STUDY
designThis was a community-based RCT. SETTING/
participantsResearchers recruited pregnant individuals with gestational diabetes or BMI>25 kg/m
interventionThe intervention consisted of a 5-month postpartum telephone-based health coaching intervention delivered in English or Spanish.
main outcome measuresData were collected through surveys at enrollment and 9-12 months after delivery and chart review up to 12 months after delivery. The primary outcome, weight change from prepregnancy to 9-12 months after delivery, was compared between the groups, overall and within strata defined a priori according to language (Spanish or English) and diabetes risk perception (none/slight or moderate/high).
resultsThe intent-to-treat estimated intervention effect was +0.7 kg (95% CI= -2.4 kg, +3.8 kg; p=0.67). In stratified analyses, intervention effects remained nonsignificant but varied in direction: effects were favorable among English speakers and those with higher perceived diabetes risk, and unfavorable among Spanish speakers and those with lower perceived risk. Analyses were conducted in 2021-2022.
conclusionsA postpartum health coaching intervention, designed for low-income Latina women at increased risk for diabetes, did not reduce postpartum weight gain. Intervention effects were nonsignificantly more favorable among English speakers versus Spanish speakers, and among those who perceived their diabetes risk to be high versus low.
