1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

introductionWeight bias internalization (WBI) is associated with reduced psychological well-being in individuals with obesity. The aim of this study was to investigate the application of Cohen's stress-buffering model of social support for WBI on well-being in patients presenting for bariatric surgery.

methodsIn N = 804 adult prebariatric patients, WBI, social support, depression severity, health-related quality of life (HRQOL), and self-esteem were assessed by self-report questionnaires. Structural Equation Modeling was applied to test for direct associations between social support and well-being and for a buffering effect of social support on the relationship between WBI and well-being.

resultsAfter controlling for age, sex, and body mass index, greater social support was directly associated with reduced depression severity and increased self-esteem, but not with increased HRQOL. Contrary to Cohen's stress-buffering model, social support showed no moderating effects on the association between WBI and depression severity, HRQOL, and self-esteem.

conclusionThese cross-sectional results may indicate that greater social support is associated with improved well-being, supporting it as a potential coping resource in bariatric surgery. Given the absence of supporting evidence for the buffering effect in the present study, future prospective research may reevaluate the existence of a moderating effect of social support and investigate whether support-focused interventions improve psychological well-being.
