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

Obesity is an important health concern that poses many public health challenges. Evidence-based treatment modalities, capable of cost-effectively reaching large patient groups are needed. In this paper, we present the design and methods of the updated national, 12-month, digital weight management program, the Healthy Weight Coaching (HWC). The major updates, as compared to the previous version, are related to the theoretical background of the obesity management and updated BMI cut-offs. The HWC is available, based on physicians' referrals, to adult Finnish citizens with BMI ≥30 kg/m
