Self-monitoring, weight, dietary intake, and physical activity before and after hurricane Helene among weight-loss seeking adults in South Carolina.

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: This study examined differences in adherence to self-monitoring and weight, dietary intake, and physical activity before and after Hurricane Helene among adults with knee replacement participating in a 12-month multicomponent weight-loss program in South Carolina, USA. Methods: Self-monitoring included weight (smart scale), dietary intake (smartphone app), and steps and active minutes (Fitbit). Accounting for covariates, multilevel logistic regression was used to predict the likelihood of adhering to the self-monitoring behaviors in the 30 days before compared to the 30 days after the hurricane in September 2024. Multilevel linear regression with piece-wise analysis predicted differences in daily energy intake, physical activity, and body weight before and after the hurricane. Results: Participants ( Conclusions: Following Hurricane Helene and widespread power outages, adults with knee replacement participating in a weight-loss intervention were less likely to self-monitor but increased steps per day. There were no significant changes in energy intake or weight post-hurricane. Participation in a multicomponent weight-loss intervention may offer some protection against detrimental effects of hurricane exposure on health behaviors.
