Exploring correlates of 6-month weight loss among black United States veterans entering veterans health administration behavioral weight management care.
Article in Preventive medicine reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Objective: Black United States (U.S.) veterans lose less weight than White veterans in the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) MOVE! Weight Management Program. This study identified correlates of weight loss among Black veterans in a real-world setting to 1) pilot methods and 2) generate hypotheses for future larger scale studies. Methods: We conducted an exploratory study to identify correlates of electronic health record (EHR)-derived, prospective six-month weight loss among Black VHA patients with a body mass index ≥30 kg/m Results: Higher baseline weight, meeting PTSD screening criteria, and identifying as men were associated with less weight loss ( Conclusions: Addressing gender- and PTSD-based barriers may help to mitigate disparities affecting Black veterans. Larger-scale studies modeled after ours but with improved recruitment methods should be conducted.
