Protocol of Randomized Controlled Community Trial (RCCT) for obesity management in Brazilian primary health care.
Article in BMC health services research, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundObesity is a chronic disease characterized by excess body fat and is a risk factor for other chronic non-communicable diseases. Its multifactorial and complex nature makes its management a challenge for health services. This manuscript presents an investigation protocol that aims to analyze the effectiveness of collective nutritional interventions for obesity management applicable to primary health care.
methodsRandomized Controlled Community Trial (RCCT) in a representative sample of users of the Programa Academia de Saúde (PAS), in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil, with obesity. The research consists of four phases: (1) Screening to identify the participants eligible for the nutritional interventions (individuals with obesity, readiness for change to lose body weight, and willingness and interest to participate in a group activity for six months or more); (2) Baseline to characterize the participants; (3) Implementation of collective nutritional interventions; (4) Reassessment of the participants. Participants in the control group (CG) will receive the usual health service care, and participants in the intervention group (IG) will participate in collective nutritional interventions based on Therapeutic Group 1 (TG1) or Therapeutic Group 2 (TG2) of the "Instructive of Collective Approach for the obesity management in SUS". DISCUSSION: The strengths of the study include its robust RCCT design, which allows for longitudinal analyses and is suitable for investigating causal hypotheses and applying strategies to improve adherence to interventions. Furthermore, the study included a representative sample of a public health service and aims to evaluate therapeutic proposals from the Brazilian Ministry of Health, which can contribute to implementation and extension in the national territory.
