Mothers Inspiring Healthy Actions (MIHA) program: A randomized control trial testing obesity treatment for mother-daughter dyads.
Article in Contemporary clinical trials, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundObesity and diabetes are highly concordant in Mexican American families. From a family systems perspective, family-level approaches to obesity treatment can improve the adoption and maintenance of weight management behaviors. Hence, this study will conduct a randomized control trial testing the efficacy of an adapted behavioral weight management intervention with counseling on family functioning.
methodsMexican American mothers and adult daughters will be randomly assigned to receive behavioral obesity treatment with (BTR) or without (BT) relationship skills training. Dyads participating in BTR and BT will attend 24 weekly sessions focused on nutrition and physical activity education along with cognitive and behavioral change strategies. Dyads participating in BTR will also receive experiential-based relationship skills training to address culturally influenced relational dynamics that may interfere with dyadic collaboration for lifestyle change. The 12-month trial will consist of an intervention phase (1-6 months) and a maintenance phase (7-12 months). The primary outcome is weight loss. Secondary outcomes include treatment adherence, cardiometabolic risk factors, health behaviors, psychosocial factors, and family functioning.
conclusionDyads in the BTR group are expected to achieve greater improvements in primary and secondary outcomes than the BT group.
