Weight stigma and bias: A guide for pediatric clinicians.
Review in Obesity pillars, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Introduction: Many children and adolescents with obesity experience weight stigma and bias, which can have detrimental mental health, medical, and social consequences. Weight stigma in the healthcare setting threatens the therapeutic relationship between health care providers and their pediatric patients and families. Methods: Data supporting this guidance were derived from cited references. Results: Based upon referenced citations, this review offers 7 best practices for pediatric providers to work to reduce weight stigma including: assess for personal weight bias, improve communication, provide a welcoming clinic environment, seek out additional training and informative experiences, evaluate the messaging and culture of the organization, screen for trauma and bullying, and enlist the help of board-certified obesity medicine specialists. Conclusions: Providers have an important role in mitigating the harmful effects of weight stigma. It is our hope these recommendations, as well as the other resources provided, will help providers to begin to address their own individual weight biases, as well as the institutional weight biases where we care for patients.
