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

Lifestyle Medicine Virtual Group Visits (LMVGVs) can be implemented in health systems to address chronic disease care gaps. This study assessed whether patients' attendance patterns at primary care-based LMVGVs were associated with self-reported changes in lifestyle behaviors. Patients who were scheduled for LMVGVs between September 2020 and April 2022 (N = 261) were mailed a survey between February and April 2022; 124 (48%) respondents completed the survey, and 111 with complete data were included. Mean age (SD) was 60.6 (12.5) years, 73% were female, and 83% were White. Twelve respondents (11%) attended 0, 51 (46%) attended 1-4, and 48 (43%) attended ≥5 LMVGVs. Compared to respondents who attended 1-4 LMVGVs, those who attended ≥5 LMVGVs reported eating healthier (85% vs 41%;
