Contrary or Null Findings
- RCT: "no significant effects were observed for the primary outcome of weight or average steps per day" in Mobile health assisted self-monitoring is acceptable for supporting weight loss in rural men.
- RCT: "This intervention [a family-based multidisciplinary program for children with obesity], with high engagement from those most affected by obesity, did not achieve long-term efficacy of the primary outcome."
- No Ego-Depletion Effect Without a Good Control Task.

- "We found no evidence suggesting that loss-framed incentives perform better than gain-framed incentives in children and isolated studies from healthy food choice experiments support the use of immediate, small incentives versus delayed, larger incentives."
- RCT: "Neither intervention yielded significant improvements in child BMI z-score or parent BMI, yet both were delivered with high fidelity."
