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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundChronic disease is the leading cause of death in the United States but can be prevented with lifestyle behaviors, such as physical activity and healthy dietary habits. Experts have developed health programs to promote these behaviors, but they have not led to long-term effects or focused on meeting guidelines and recommendations.

objectivesTo determine the effectiveness of a health program in improving participants' confidence levels, health outcomes, and health behaviors.

methodsWithin-subjects analysis was conducted to determine pre-post changes in weight, health, and confidence in achieving step count and fruit and vegetable consumption goals. A between-subjects analysis was conducted to compare program graduates and program dropouts to determine the influence of weight classification, weight, health, and confidence on program completion.

resultsAfter completing the program, program graduates lost an average of six pounds and reported increases in health and confidence in achieving step count and fruit and vegetable goals. Health and confidence levels were significantly lower among program dropouts compared to program graduates.

conclusionsThe program had a positive effect on confidence levels and health outcomes among program graduates. Materials to enhance confidence should be considered for distribution during the pre-assessment phase of this program.
