Improving Diet Quality of People Living With Obesity by Building Effective Dietetic Service Delivery Using Technology in a Primary Health Care Setting: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial.
Article in JMIR research protocols, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundAlmost a third of Australian adults are living with obesity, yet most cannot access medical nutrition therapy from dietitians, that is, the health professionals trained in dietary weight management services. Across the health system, primary care doctors readily identify people who may benefit from weight management services, but there are limited referral options in the community. Dietitians are trained to provide evidence-informed dietary treatment of overweight and obesity but are underutilized and underresourced. The chat2 (Connecting Health and Technology 2) trial will test combining new technologies for dietary assessment with behavior change techniques to improve outcomes for people living with obesity.
objectiveThis study aimed to compare the effectiveness of a 1-year digital dietary intervention, with standard care on body weight reduction and improved diet quality, in adults living with obesity delivered by dietitians in a primary care setting.
methodsThis randomized controlled trial will compare a 1-year, digitally tailored, feedback dietary intervention with a control group in 430 adults living with obesity (BMI≥30 to ≤45 kg/m
resultsParticipant recruitment commenced in July 2023 and ended in August 2024. Data analysis will commence in 2025, with the anticipated publication of results in 2026.
conclusionsIf found to be effective, the results of this randomized controlled trial will support the delivery of effective, evidence-based weight management advice using new technologies. Improving community access to high-quality dietetic services will ensure more effective use of the dietetic workforce to improve outcomes for people living with obesity.
