Figure 1. Only studies for which the difference in mean weight loss could be calculated are included. Error bars represent
95% CIs and are presented for studies in which those data were available. Data presented are as close as possible to 1-year
follow-up. An asterisk indicates that the difference was statistically significant ( < 0.05) but there were insufficient data
to calculate CIs. B = behavioral therapy; D = diet; E = exercise; EP = exercise program; EQ = exercise equipment; L = lottery
entry; MR = meal replacement; SES = socioeconomic status. +++ = high intensity; ++ = moderate intensity; + = low intensity. Differences in mean weight loss between intervention and control groups for counseling and behavioral interventions.P

Figure 2. Only studies for which the difference in mean weight loss could be calculated are included; each arm is represented
by a data point. Error bars represent 95% CIs and are presented for studies in which those data were available. Intensity
of co-interventions was not assessed because most trials provided insufficient information for evaluation. An asterisk indicates
that the difference was statistically significant ( < 0.05) but there were insufficient data to calculate CIs. B = behavioral
therapy; BID = twice daily; D = diet; E = exercise; QD = daily; TID = 3 times daily. Differences in mean weight loss between intervention and control groups for pharmacotherapy interventions.P
