Cognitive-behavioral therapy improves weight loss and quality of life in women with polycystic ovary syndrome: a pilot randomized clinical trial
Open accessAbstract
Objective To compare the effects of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and lifestyle modification (LS) versus LS alone on weight, depressive and anxiety symptoms, and stress response in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), overweight/obesity, and depressive symptoms. Design A 16-week pilot randomized clinical trial. Setting Tertiary-care PCOS center. Patient(s) Overweight/obese women with PCOS and depressive symptoms. Intervention(s) Weekly CBT (n = 7) or contact only/no therapy (n = 8) for 8 weeks. Both groups received weekly LS for 16 weeks. Main outcome measure(s) Changes in weight, depression (Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale [CES-D]), anxiety (State-Trait Anxiety Inventory [STAI]), quality of life (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Health-Related Quality of Life Questionnaire [PCOSQ]), laboratory tests, and response to a Trier Social Stress Test (TSST). Result(s) The CBT+LS group lost more weekly weight (-0.35 kg/wk vs. -0.16 kg/wk) compared with the LS group. Overall, the CBT+LS group lost 3.2 kg versus 1.8 kg for the LS group. The CBT+LS group had greater improvement in PCOSQ at 8 weeks (+3.7 vs. +1.2 points). In the overall cohort, STAI and CES-D decreased by -0.27 points per week and -0.31 points/wk, respectfully, and total and free T decreased at week 8. Heart rate response to TSST was lower at 15 minutes after stressor in the CBT+LS group. Conclusion(s) Weekly CBT+LS for 8 weeks compared with LS alone resulted in significant weight loss and improved quality of life in overweight/obese women with PCOS and depressive symptoms. These interventions were associated with a decreased autonomic response to a laboratory stressor, suggesting a potential link between CBT, weight loss, and modulation of the stress response. Clinical trial registration number NCT01899001.

The source backs part of the claim, not all of it — or backs it for a different population, condition or comparison.
In the citing paper
“this study had a high attrition rate for the CBT group, a small sample size, only included participants with an overweight or obese BMI, and was of the shortest duration (8 weeks) of the lifestyle interventions included in this review”

Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredThe cited source says what the claim attributes to it.
In the citing paper
“when researchers incorporated CBT as an adjunct to lifestyle counseling, they found significant improvements in weight loss compared to standard lifestyle counseling alone [113]. Additionally, participants in the CBT group were significantly more likely to meet their exercise goal and keep their weekly food diary than those solely in the lifestyle modification group [113].”

“Many studies lacked a comparison group [100,105,110,111,112], had a small sample size [105,109,110,112,113], suffered from high attrition rates [100,108,113], and did not report on the length of duration [105]”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
