Disinhibition and Subjective Hunger as Mediators Between Weight Bias Internalization and Binge Eating Among Pre-Surgical Bariatric Patients.

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
purposeWeight bias internalization, or the process of applying negative weight-related attitudes and beliefs to oneself, is an important construct in regard to patients pursuing bariatric surgery. Weight bias internalization (or internalized weight bias) has been previously associated with depressive symptoms and binge eating among pre-surgical bariatric patients. However, a gap in the literature exists pertaining to how certain eating behaviors may mediate the relationship between weight bias internalization and binge eating. The present study assessed the role of eating behaviors (i.e., cognitive restraint, disinhibition, and hunger) as mediators between weight bias internalization and binge eating symptoms when controlling for depression. MATERIALS AND
methodsA total of 708 adults (M
resultsDisinhibition and hunger were significant mediators in the relationship between weight bias internalization and binge eating beyond the role of depressive symptoms alone.
conclusionDisinhibited eating, or the tendency to experience a loss of control and eating in response to negative emotions, as well as subjective feelings of hunger are important dimensions of eating, particularly as related to weight bias internalization and binge eating. Weight bias internalization is an important factor to consider among pre-surgical bariatric patients and warrants additional treatment considerations.
