Assessing Life Stress: A Critical Priority in Obesity Research and Treatment.
Article in Obesity (Silver Spring, Md.), 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06063174 (Identifying Social, Molecular, & Immunological Processes for Mitigating Toxic Stress & Enhancing Personalized Resilience), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
Significant childhood adversity and chronic life stress are highly prevalent in patients with severe obesity. Such stress has been found to increase risk of adulthood obesity by up to 50%, and it can also substantially degrade the effectiveness of evidence-based treatments for this chronic disease condition. Despite general appreciation of these facts, though, stress is not frequently measured in obesity research or routinely assessed during treatment for obesity or obesity-related complications. To address this important issue, we describe several validated tools that can be used for assessing life stress and discuss how information obtained from these instruments can be integrated into obesity treatment and research. Given the documented relevance of stress for obesity, we argue that stress assessment and management should be included in clinical treatments for obesity and that stress should be routinely measured in studies examining the long-term effects of obesity and obesity treatment.
