Relationship between body weight perception and weight-related behaviours.
Article in The Journal of international medical research, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Objectives This study aimed to examine the prevalence of weight misperception and to explore the association of weight perception with physical activity and dietary intake. Methods A population-based, nationally representative cross-sectional survey was conducted of 920 Thai adolescents aged 13 to 24 years. Respondents were selected using stratified multistage sampling. Respondents who agreed to participate were asked to complete the Youth Risk Behavior Questionnaire. Results Females were more likely than males to misperceive themselves as overweight (21.8% vs. 11.7%), whereas males were more likely than females to misperceive themselves as underweight (12.3% vs. 3.4%). Males were more likely than females to report a high intake of vegetables (45.7% vs. 38.0%), milk (39.1% vs. 38.0%), 100% fruit juice (20.9% vs. 17.7%) and soda or pop (38.5% vs. 20.6%). Males were also more likely than females to report vigorous physical activity of more than 60 minutes per day (38.1% vs. 21.3%) and vigorous exercise to strengthen or tone muscles (37.3% vs. 13.2%). Conclusions Gender differences in dietary intake and physical activity were identified. However, there were no significant differences in dietary intake and physical activity between adolescents who correctly perceived themselves as overweight and those who misperceived themselves as overweight.
