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
objectiveInternalized weight bias (IWB), or negative weight related self-evaluation, is associated with eating-disorder psychopathology and common among patients seeking bariatric surgery, but little is known about the clinical presentation of IWB post-operatively. This study examined IWB and clinical correlates among adult patients with loss-of-control (LOC) eating post-sleeve gastrectomy surgery.
methodsParticipants (
resultsIWB was not associated significantly with percent excess weight loss, age, or gender, but White participants reported significantly greater IWB than Non-White participants. IWB was significantly associated with greater eating-disorder psychopathology, depression, and lower perceived mental quality of life. Hierarchical regression analysis revealed that IWB significantly predicted variance in eating-disorder psychopathology above and beyond other related variables.
conclusionsFindings suggest that IWB is common and associated with a range of heightened eating-disorder and psychosocial difficulties among patients experiencing LOC eating following bariatric surgery. Future research exploring the longitudinal post-operative prognostic significance of IWB is recommended.
