Table 2 Mean change scores (post-treatment scores adjusted for baseline) for the clinical outcome measures at 8-week post-randomisation timepoints including the number of participants (N), means, and standard deviations (SD) for each trial arm, and the estimated between-groups effect size (Cohen’s d with 95% confidence intervals)

From: A randomised controlled feasibility study of food-related computerised attention training versus mindfulness training and waiting-list control for adults with overweight or obesity: the FOCUS study
