Key Determinants of Weight Loss Trajectory Across Different Periods of a Behavioral Weight Loss Intervention.
Trial report in Obesity (Silver Spring, Md.), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT02829619 (Meal Timing, Genetics and Weight Loss in a Mediterranean Population), which is not on this map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.

Abstract
objectiveThis longitudinal study aims to identify the key factors influencing the weight loss trajectory during a 24-week intervention and their relevance at different stages of the treatment.
methodsWe studied 1252 participants (age 18-65 years) of a cognitive behavioral program to lose weight. Body weight was measured weekly, and a range of variables at baseline and throughout the treatment period were assessed. Linear regression analyses were conducted to understand the factors involved in the weight loss trajectory across three treatment periods (0-6, 7-12, 13-24 weeks).
resultsThe rate of weight loss progressively decreased from the 1st to the 3rd period (770-198 g/week). During the 1st period, the recent history of the individual, including baseline metabolic status, dietary habits, and motivation, was the highest-ranked determinant. In the 2nd period, the sole predictor was the long-term personal history of obesity, that is, the duration of the individual's lifetime spent with overweight/obesity. In the 3rd period, emotional eating behaviors and related barriers emerged as the two highest-ranked determinants of reduced rate of weight loss.
conclusionsFindings suggest targeted interventions that address the specific challenges of each period of weight loss interventions. As treatment progresses, strategies focused on emotional-related behaviors may be crucial for sustaining weight loss.
