Association of body image dissatisfaction, behavioral responses for healthy eating, and cardiovascular health in African-American women with overweight or obesity: A preliminary study.
Article in American journal of preventive cardiology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
backgroundAfrican-American (AA) women have the lowest prevalence of ideal categorizations of diet and body mass index (BMI), as defined by the American Heart Association (AHA) Life's Simple 7 (LS7) cardiovascular health (CVH) components compared to other racial/ethnic groups, regardless of sex/gender. There is limited research exploring the interplay of unique psychosocial influences on CVH such as body image dissatisfaction (BID) and behavioral responses for healthy eating among AA women with overweight or obesity.
objectiveThis study aimed to assess the association of BID with behavioral responses for healthy eating and LS7 components.
methodsA cross-sectional analysis of baseline data was conducted among 32 AA women with overweight or obesity from a larger, community-based participatory research study. Self-reported measures were used to assess BID and behavioral responses to healthy eating (diet self-regulation to reduce fat or caloric intake and motivation for healthy eating [intrinsic motivation and integrated regulation]) using previously validated instruments. The LS7 components (e.g., BMI, diet, etc.) and composite score were evaluated using the AHA LS7 metrics rubric.
resultsWomen with no or lower BID had greater diet self-regulation to reduce fat or caloric intake (mean, 3.5 vs 3.0;
conclusionBID and other psychosocial influences for healthy eating are potential targets for culturally tailored lifestyle interventions among AA women.
