A randomized controlled trial of an acceptance and commitment therapy-informed diabetes prevention program reduces body shame and distress.

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
objectiveBody shame drives psychological and behavioral precursors of Type 2 diabetes (T2D) prevention and management and may be present in conventional prevention programs. We tested the efficacy of a brief acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT)-informed T2D prevention intervention targeting those outcomes.
methodParticipants (N = 298) were at high risk for developing T2D, had not previously attended a diabetes prevention program, and were randomized to a virtual intervention grounded in ACT and diabetes education or diabetes education alone. Intervention-related body shame was the primary outcome, and several secondary outcomes were also examined.
resultsParticipants in the ACT + diabetes prevention education group (vs. diabetes prevention education only) had significantly lower body shame, which was significantly related to perceptions of diabetes-related threat, diabetes distress, and perceived self-efficacy for diabetes prevention self-management, among others, and also mediated the effect of treatment on threat and anxiety.
conclusionsThis randomized controlled trial provides one of the first experimental tests of an ACT-informed diabetes prevention program that can reduce intervention-related body shame and related health and well-being outcomes. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved).
