The SHED-IT randomized controlled trial: evaluation of an Internet-based weight-loss program for men
Open accessAbstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of an Internet-based weight-loss program for men in an assessor blinded randomized controlled trial. In total, 65 overweight/obese male staff and students at the University of Newcastle (mean (s.d.) age = 35.9 (11.1) years; BMI = 30.6 (2.8)) were randomly assigned to either (i) Internet group (n = 34) or (ii) control group (information only) (n = 31). Both groups received one face-to-face information session and a program booklet. Internet group participants used the study website to self-monitor diet and activity with feedback provided based on participants' online entries on seven occasions over 3 months. Participants were assessed at baseline, 3-, and 6-month follow-up for weight, waist circumference, BMI, blood pressure, resting heart rate, objectively measured physical activity, and self-reported total daily kilojoules. Intention-to-treat analysis revealed significant weight loss of 5.3 kg (95% confidence interval (CI): -7.3, -3.3) at 6 months for the Internet group and 3.5 kg (95% CI: -5.5, -1.4) for the control group. A significant time effect was found for all outcomes but no between-group differences. Per-protocol analysis revealed a significant group-by-time interaction (P < 0.001), with compliers losing more weight at 6 months (-9.1 kg; 95% CI -11.8, -6.5) than noncompliers (-2.7 kg; 95% CI -5.3, -0.01) and the control group (-4.2 kg; 95% CI -6.2, -2.2). Simple weight-loss interventions can be effective in achieving statistically and clinically significant weight loss in men. The Internet is a feasible and effective medium for weight loss in men but strategies need to be explored to improve engagement in online programs.

The Morgan 2009 trial reported that participants were blind to group allocation at baseline assessment and that assessors were blinded to treatment allocation at all points.

After 10 to 14 weeks of treatment, the five individual trials with weight loss measurements at three months showed that participants in the computer-based intervention groups lost more weight than participants in the minimal intervention control groups (MD -2.5 kg, 95% CI -3.4 to -1.6, P < 0.00001; 430 participants; five trials).

After six months of treatment, participants in the computer-based intervention lost more weight than participants in the control intervention (MD -1.5 kg, 95% CI -2.1 to -0.9, P < 0.00001; 511 participants; two trials).

When the two weight-loss trials that included only men (Morgan 2009; Morgan 2011) were analyzed together, the mean weight loss was larger than that of trials conducted in mixed-gender populations (3 kg versus 2 kg) but there was substantial heterogeneity in the analysis of men only (I2 = 60%).

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.
