A Pilot Study Examining Stress and Obesity among Employees at a Historically Black College and University (HBCU): Does Job Satisfaction Matter?
Article in Ethnicity & disease, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Objective: To evaluate the potential of using specific biopsychosocial instruments in capturing data on the relationship between stress and obesity and determine if job satisfaction influences the effect estimate. Participants: Fifty-three Black employees at a Historically Black College and University (HBCU). Methods: Logistic regression analyses were used to determine associations. Results: Initially, perceived stress is not associated with obesity (adjusted odds ratio [AOR], 1.17; 95% CI, 1.01-1.36). The dimension of job satisfaction related to contingent/performance-based rewards had a negative significant relationship with obesity (AOR, 0.60; 95% CI, 0.37-0.96). The relationship between perceived stress and obesity became positively significant in the presence of job satisfaction related to contingent/performance-based rewards (AOR, 1.36; 95% CI, 1.02-1.84). Conclusions: Results indicate that perceived stress in conjunction with job satisfaction related to contingent/performance-based rewards may be related to obesity. This underscores the need for further investigation of obesity, stress, and job satisfaction among HBCU employees. The instruments and tools used showed promising capacity for use among this understudied population.
