Long-term cardio-metabolic effects of lifestyle intervention among obese Arab women: a 12-year follow-up of a randomized trial.
Trial report in Frontiers in endocrinology, 2026. 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
Background: Information on the long-term effects of lifestyle interventions after withdrawal among ethnic minority groups is sparse. Objective: To study the long-term cardio-metabolic effects of a 12-month intensive versus moderate culturally congruent lifestyle intervention after program termination. Methods: This is a long-term follow-up of a randomized controlled trial conducted between 2006 and 2008 in a primary care setting. Obese, non-diabetic Arab women aged 35-54 years were included (n=201). Both interventions promoted a calorie-restricted diet and regular physical exercise. The intensive intervention consisted of two monthly physical activity sessions and two monthly meetings with a dietitian. The moderate intervention, designed to follow usual care, consisted of five sessions/year with a dietitian. The main outcome measures were cardio-metabolic risk factors, measured during the trial and after its termination. Results: During a median follow-up of 12 years, women assigned to the intensive intervention had a more favorable BMI trajectory. They were also more likely to have a BMI <30.0 kg/m Conclusion: A 12-month intensive lifestyle intervention among obese Arab women had a beneficial effect on BMI after intervention withdrawal, but the likelihood of having a BMI<30 kg/m
