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

The pilot study evaluated contingency management (CM) for family-based obesity therapy (FBT). The secondary outcome assessed the association of the hepatic transient electrography (TE) parameters, including the controlled attenuation parameter (CAP) and liver stiffness (LSM), and changes in liver function blood tests and BMI changes in youth involved in intensive FBT. It included youth-parent dyads from an urban pediatric center randomized to weekly behavioral therapy (BT, n= 4) who received fixed financial compensation for attendance, or BT+CM (n= 5) who received an escalating monetary reward for weight loss. At week 30, all youth and parents had weight-loss trends without significant differences between groups. While the TE measures and blood tests were normal in the youth at baseline and week 30, the CAP changes correlated with BMI changes (R
