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
Objective: We assessed factors associated with engagement in lifestyle wellness programs for patients with prediabetes. Methods: This mixed-methods study, conducted between March 2018 and April of 2021, combined a retrospective cohort study and semi-structured interviews in a Northern California cohort of patients from a randomized controlled pragmatic clinical trial aged 18-75 with body mass index Results: We identified 2,164 eligible patients; 12.8% were referred to a wellness program and 7% attended a wellness program. Patients not exposed to peer support, males, and Asian-American participants had the lowest odds of participation in wellness programs. Qualitative interviews with 30 intervention participants provided contextual information on quantitative findings including the importance of physician referrals and formal recruitment, a need for social support and accountability, and matching patient needs to wellness program descriptions as facilitators of engaging in wellness programs. Conclusion: Given the low percentage of patients with prediabetes referred to and participating in wellness programs, there is a need to develop health system strategies to improve wellness program engagement for patients at-risk for diabetes.
