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.

2 · The registry

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

Unlabelled: In a retrospective analysis of 34,449 adults using an unsubsidized, tirzepatide-supported digital weight loss service (DWLS) in Australia, patients entering via peer referral showed higher 6-month program adherence and greater percentage weight loss than propensity score-matched nonreferred patients, suggesting that peer referral pathways may support retention and effectiveness in medicated obesity care.
