Preferred descriptions for loss of control while eating and weight among patients with binge eating disorder.
Article in Psychiatry research, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Patients with binge eating disorder (BED) typically also have excess weight, making them vulnerable to stigmatizing attitudes about mental illness and obesity. Further, one of the diagnostic features of BED is experiencing a loss of control during binge eating episodes. It is possible that patients feel negatively judged when clinicians assess for loss of control as it may activate stereotypes of patients with obesity lacking willpower. We developed a questionnaire to assess preferences for common loss of control descriptions and gathered data on preferences for weight-related terms among 46 patients with BED. Analyses revealed the majority of common descriptors for loss of control eating were viewed neutrally, with loss of control being the most preferred term. Descriptions suggesting patients were addicted to food or did not consider stopping eating once they started binge eating were viewed negatively. The following weight descriptions were viewed negatively: heaviness, large size, obesity, excess fat, and fatness. Terms such as BMI, and unhealthy body weight or BMI were viewed more favorably and weight was the most preferred term. These findings provide empirical support for healthcare providers' use of terms to use and terms to avoid when talking to patients with BED about eating and weight.
