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
introductionAntipsychotic medications are used to treat individuals with severe mental illness (SMI) but are associated with rapid weight gain and several physical and mental risk factors. Early, proactive weight management is necessary to preempt these risk factors. The aim of this research was to understand and explain how, why, for whom, and in what contexts non-pharmacological interventions can help to manage antipsychotic-induced weight gain.
methodsA realist review was conducted to identify contextual factors and underlying mechanisms associated with effective, non-pharmacological weight management interventions for adults > 18-years old. Practitioners and lived experience stakeholders were integral.
resultsSeventy-four documents were used to construct a program theory and 12 testable context-mechanism-outcome configurations. People with SMI benefit from support when navigating interventions aimed at managing weight gain. From a practitioner perspective, a good therapeutic relationship is important in helping people with SMI navigate early diagnosis and treatment options and facilitate the exploriation of any pre-existing issues. Interventions that are flexible and tailored to the needs of individuals, ideally starting early in a person's recovery journey, are likely to yield better results. Additional sources of support include family, friends, and peers with lived experience who can help individuals transition to autonomous goal-setting. The review findings also emphasizes the significant effect of stigma/dual stigma on individuals with SMI and weight gain.
conclusionsSuccessful interventions are collaborative, flexible, and underpinned by early and comprehensive assessment with the use of appropriate behavior change approaches. The therapeutic relationship is key, with a destigmatizing approach required. A realist evaluation with primary data is currently underway.
