Testing a Personalized Behavioral Weight Loss Approach Using Multifactor Prescriptions and Self-Experimentation: 12-Week mHealth Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial Results.
Article in Obesity science & practice, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Behavioral weight loss (WL) interventions typically follow standard diet and activity prescriptions for intervention duration to produce an energy deficit. Though average weight losses in these programs are clinically meaningful, there is heterogeneity in weight outcomes. Personalized diet and activity prescriptions may help increase the potency of WL programs by reducing this heterogeneity. Methods: This 12-week pilot study randomized participants ( Results: Study retention (100%) and satisfaction were high. Mean 3-month weight loss (kg) was greater in PBWL (-7.08 (0.74)) than BWL (-3.79 (0.84), Conclusions: Experimentally-derived personalized prescriptions supported greater 12-week weight loss than standard recommendations.
