Weight management for Black United States Veterans: Employee and patient perspectives.
Article in Preventive medicine reports, 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
Objective: Veterans who self-identify as Black (hereafter Black veterans) and use the Veterans Health Administration (VHA)'s MOVE!® Weight Management Program lose less weight than other veterans. Understanding factors affecting this difference could identify solutions. Methods: We interviewed 18 MOVE! employees and 26 Black veterans who engaged in MOVE! in the United States of America (2022/2023). Separate semi-structured interview guides focused on three research questions: 1) What are Black veterans' experiences in MOVE!?; 2) What factors impact weight management?; 3) How can care be improved? Transcripts were analyzed using deductive/inductive coding and rapid analysis. Results: Employees and veterans were satisfied with MOVE! experiences. Participants described social determinants of health that could affect weight management or weight loss disparities, including stress, negative interpersonal or institutional experiences, bias, cultural differences, and health care experiences. Employees and veterans noted care could be improved by adjusting materials to address culturally-relevant foods and several suggested more diverse MOVE! staff. Participants expressed interest in training for MOVE! staff and care tailored to preferences/needs. Conclusions: To ensure veteran-centered care, MOVE! could increase its focus on general health and functioning, managing mental health and stress, culturally-relevant foods, and training. Ongoing engagement with veterans could support these efforts.
