Weight, Weight Perceptions, and Health and Well-Being Among Canadian Adolescents: Evidence From the 2017-2018 Canadian Community Health Survey.
Article in American journal of health promotion : AJHP, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
purposeThe present study examines the extent to which (mis)matched weight and weight perceptions predict adolescents' self-rated health, mental health, and life satisfaction.
designQuantitative, cross-sectional study.
settingData from the 2017-2018 Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS)-a nationally representative sample collected by Statistics Canada.
participantsCanadian adolescents aged between 12 and 17 (n = 8,081). MEASURES: The dependent variables are self-rated health, mental health, and life satisfaction. The independent variable is (mis)matched weight and weight perceptions. ANALYSIS: We perform a series of ordinary least squares (OLS) regression models.
resultsOverweight adolescents with overweight perceptions are associated with poorer self-rated health (b = -.546, p < .001 for boys; b = -.476, p < .001 for girls), mental health (b = -.278, p < .001 for boys; b = -.433, p < .001 for girls), and life satisfaction (b = -.544, p < .001 for boys; b = -.617, p < .001 for girls) compared to their counterparts with normal weight and normal weight perceptions. Similar patterns have also been observed among normal weight adolescents with overweight perceptions (e.g., normal weight adolescents with overweight perceptions are associated with poorer self-rated health (b = -.541, p < .01 for boys; b = -.447, p < .001 for girls)).
conclusionNormal weight adolescents are not immune to adverse self-rated health, mental health, and life satisfaction because their weight perceptions are also a contributing factor to health and well-being consequences.
