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.

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.

Abstract

objectiveGiven their unique psychosocial milieu, military-dependent youth (children of service members) may be vulnerable to excess weight gain, adverse cardiometabolic health, and binge eating. This study aimed to test the effects of group interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT), relative to a standard-of-care health education (HE) group, on these outcomes in adolescent military-dependents.

methodsMilitary-dependent 12 to 17-year-olds with BMI ≥ 85th percentile and elevated anxiety and/or recent loss-of-control-eating participated in a multisite cluster randomized controlled trial comparing 12 weeks of adapted group IPT, targeting psychosocial problems, to a HE group. BMI, cardiometabolic health, and binge eating were assessed at baseline, posttreatment, and 1-year follow-up. BMI and cardiometabolic variables were measured or retrieved from electronic medical records at 2- and 3-year follow-ups.

resultsWe were not able to recruit a fully powered trial; however, we analyzed data from 153 adolescent military-dependents (43.8% boys) with LOC-eating and/or high anxiety. There were no group differences between IPT and HE on outcomes. Some improvements in BMI indices, glucose regulation, and binge eating (p < 0.001) were observed across both groups.

conclusionsGroup-based interventions may positively impact weight trajectories and cardiometabolic health among adolescent military-dependents. Future studies should elucidate potential moderators and mechanisms of interventions on outcomes in this important population.
