Efficacy of an Online Weight Loss Program for Mexican Adults: Findings From a Randomized Controlled Trial.
Article in Obesity science & practice, 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: Obesity is a major public health crisis in Mexico. With internet usage rapidly increasing, digital health interventions present a clear opportunity for treating obesity. This study addressed a key gap in research by evaluating a web-based Intensive Lifestyle Modification intervention adapted from the Diabetes Prevention Program for weight loss (DPP-web) in this population. Methods: To evaluate the efficacy of the DPP-web in Mexican adults with overweight or obesity at 3 and 6 months compared with a wait-list control group, a randomized controlled trial ( Results: Participants, predominantly women (81%), with an average age of 31.5 ± 8.6 years and BMI of 33.4 ± 4.85 kg/m Conclusions: The DPP-web was effective for weight loss in the Mexican population at three and 6 months and could help to improve access to an effective obesity treatment in Spanish-speaking countries, including Mexico.
