Weight-Related Self-Esteem, Group Behavioral Therapy, and Weight Loss.
Trial report in Obesity (Silver Spring, Md.), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT02456636 (Rural Engagement in Primary Care for Optimizing Weight Reduction), which is not on this 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.

Abstract
objectivePatients with obesity report experiencing weight stigma resulting in poor self-esteem. Based on baseline self-esteem, this paper explores recommendations for group versus individual visits for lifestyle components of comprehensive obesity treatment in primary care.
methodsParticipants (n = 1220) were rural primary care patients in a 24-month cluster randomized controlled trial that demonstrated superior weight loss with group versus individual treatment. Baseline weight-related self-esteem scores (0-100), as measured by the Impact of Weight on Quality of Life-Lite (IWQOL-L), were used. A Bayesian normal dynamic linear model with a changepoint parameter estimates the relationship between self-esteem and weight loss across group versus individual treatment at the 24-month primary endpoint.
resultsThe posterior probability that patients receiving group lost more weight than those receiving individual visits remained
conclusionsPeople may benefit more from group than individual intervention if their self-esteem is above an IWQOL-L score of 60 when starting an intensive behavioral intervention for weight loss.
