Design of Project STAR: A randomized controlled trial evaluating the impact of an adaptive intervention on long-term weight-loss maintenance.
Article in Contemporary clinical trials, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04116853 (Evaluation of an Adaptive Intervention for Weight Loss Maintenance), which is not on this map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
backgroundWithout provision of additional intervention, most individuals regain weight after the end of weight-loss programs. Extended-care programs have been demonstrated to improve long-term weight-loss maintenance, but effects are modest.
methodsWe proposed to evaluate whether delivering extended-care telephone sessions on an ADAPTIVE (provided when individuals are deemed to be at high-risk for weight regain) versus STATIC (the once-per-month schedule typically used in extended-care programs) schedule improves weight regain after initial weight loss. Adults with obesity were initially recruited for a 16-week lifestyle weight-loss program, and those who lost ≥5 % of their initial weight were eligible for enrollment in the Project STAR maintenance trial.
resultsA total of 449 individuals (mean ± SD age = 49.5 ± 11.4 years, BMI = 35.7 ± 4.0 kg/m
conclusionResults from Project STAR will demonstrate whether providing extended-care intervention on an individually adaptable schedule improves long-term weight-loss maintenance. Moreover, the rich longitudinal dataset collected during the trial will serve as a foundation for building future predictive algorithms of weight regain and novel weight-maintenance interventions.
