Relationship between stress and weight management behaviors during the COVID-19 pandemic among those enrolled in an internet program.
Article in Obesity science & practice, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 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
backgroundThe COVID-19 pandemic resulted in mandated stay-at-home orders, potentially resulting in changes in mental health (e.g., stress, anxiety) and challenges maintaining healthy dietary and physical activity behaviors.
objectiveThis study examined how stress was associated with mental well-being and weight loss behaviors during the COVID-19 pandemic among adults enrolled in an internet-based weight loss program.
methodsParticipants enrolled in a weight-loss program residing in Rhode Island or Massachusetts, USA, completed a brief survey on their mental health and current weight-loss behaviors during the COVID-19 pandemic. Surveys were completed between 14 April 2020 and 21 April 2020, approximately one month after stay-at-home orders were mandated. Linear regression was used to examine associations between stress, mental health, and weight-loss behaviors.
resultsA total of 99 participants completed the survey (79% female, 91% white, 52.2 ± 9.8 years, 34.0 ± 5.2 kg/m
conclusionsMany individuals enrolled in a weight-loss program experienced more stress during COVID-19 compared to before the pandemic. This stress was related to more mental health challenges as well as more difficulties finding time for weight management efforts.
