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.

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

Background: Currently available behavioral and dietary weight-loss programs lack magnitude and sustainability compared with bariatric surgery. A novel dietary weight-loss program was developed to assist participants in achieving sustainable diet changes by building knowledge and skills in food self-selection. Although the approach worked, a large variation was observed in outcome among participants. Objective: Determine factors affecting weight-loss outcomes among participants to further improve the efficacy of the program. Methods: Participants attended 19 dietary educational sessions during a 1-year intervention which included prescribed homework. Changes in weight, diet, and body composition were assessed. Results: Participants ( Conclusions: Divergence in weight-loss outcomes among the participants is likely due to a difference in successful dietary implementation. Intra-cohort analysis indicates early weight-loss success and early dietary implementation was predictive of long-term success.
