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

Objective: To explore the helpful factors of group cognitive behavioral therapy in overweight and obese college students. Methods: Twelve overweight and obese college students were selected to receive group cognitive behavioral therapy, and semi-structured interviews were conducted to gather insights on their perceived helpful factors during the intervention, and thematic analysis was employed to process the interview data. Results: The cognitive-behavioral weight loss group intervention had three categories of helpful factors: (1) "Cognitive Adjustment and Skill Learning," including thought recognition and transformation, emotional experience and acceptance, motor learning and practice, dietary adjustments and changes, and knowledge assimilation and experimentation. (2) "Group process and motivational factors," including a sense of belonging and cohesion, information transfer and facilitation, and a sense of self-efficacy. (3) "Gains and overall results," including healthy living and weight loss, renewed hope, and a positive mindset. Conclusion: Group cognitive behavioral therapy achieves group weight loss through the synergistic effects of multiple factors.
