Exploring body mass index and gender-based self-esteem differences in Saudi Arabia.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Background: Self-esteem (SE) and obesity have been associated in various studies. This study investigates this relationship among adults in Saudi Arabia. The objectives of this study are to investigate the relationships between SE and body mass index (BMI) and to examine the interactions between sociodemographic-related factors. Methods: We designed a cross-sectional study using an online survey that included sociodemographics, a BMI measure, and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale. Results: Levels of SE did not change substantially between the various age groups, as indicated by the Chi-Square test Conclusion: There is a negative correlation between BMI and SE in both genders, with a more pronounced impact in men. Gender-specific differences in the relationship between BMI and SE underscore the importance of considering distinct pathways for males and females in future analyses.
