Predicting Weight Control Intentions: An Extended Model of Goal-Directed Behavior.
Article in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2025. 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
This study aimed to develop an extended model of goal-directed behavior (MGB) to more thoroughly explain the intention of adults to control body weight. The extended model integrates the crucial constructs and a newly added construct, mental health, as a formative second-order factor in the weight control context into the original MGB. An online survey was conducted with 239 undergraduate students, who responded to the constructs of attitude, subjective norms, anticipated emotions, desire, and mental health. A descriptive analysis was conducted, and the fit of the proposed research model was verified using structural equation modeling. The results showed that the known constructs of attitude, subjective norm, and anticipated emotions were critical predictors of desire in the context of weight control. In addition, desire influenced intention to control weight. Furthermore, mental health had a significant causal relationship with the variables in the extended goal-directed behavior. It broadens the weight control literature by emphasizing the role of affective factors in weight control behavior, expanding the MGB theory with mental health, and providing empirical evidence for an effective weight control intervention program.
