Remote delivery of a weight management intervention for adults with intellectual disabilities: Results from a randomized non-inferiority trial.
Trial report in Disability and health journal, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03291509 (Remote Delivery of Weight Management for Adults With Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities), which is not on this map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
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.

Abstract
backgroundRemote delivery of multi-component weight management interventions results in clinically meaningful weight loss in adults without intellectual disabilities (ID), but the effectiveness of remotely delivered weight management interventions in adults with ID has not previously been evaluated.
objectiveTo determine if a weight management intervention delivered remotely could achieve weight loss (kg) at 6 months that is non-inferior to in-person visits in adults with ID and overweight or obesity (BMI ≥25 kg/m
methodsParticipants were randomized to a 24-mo. trial (6 mos weight loss,12 mos weight maintenance, 6 mos. no-contact follow up) to compare weight loss achieved with the same multicomponent intervention delivered to individual participants in their home either remotely (RD) or during face-to-face home visits (FTF).
resultsOne hundred twenty adults with ID (∼32 years of age, 53 % females) were randomized to the RD (n = 60) or the FTF arm (n = 60). Six-month weight loss in the RD arm (-4.9 ± 7.8 kg) was superior to 6-month weight loss achieved in the FTF arm (-2.1 ± 6.7 kg, p = 0.047). However, this may be partially attributed to the COVID-19 pandemic, since weight loss in the FTF arm was greater in participants who completed the intervention entirely pre-COVID (n = 33,-3.2 %) compared to post-COVID (n = 22, -0.61 %). Weight loss across did not differ significantly between intervention arms at 18 (p = 0.33) or 24 months (p = 0.34).
conclusionOur results suggest that remote delivery is a viable option for achieving clinically relevant weight loss and maintenance in adults with ID. NCT REGISTRATION: NCT03291509.
