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

backgroundThe obesity epidemic is a growing public health concern, making weight management a crucial aspect of overall health and well-being. Indeed, effective tools to facilitate behavior change are essential for achieving long-term success in managing weight. This study aimed to validate the Farsi versions of the S-weight and P-weight questionnaires to support personalized weight management by assessing specific aspects of psychological readiness, including motivation, self-regulation, emotional reappraisal (EmR), and environmental restructuring (EnR).

methodsA cross-sectional study using self-administered questionnaires was conducted. The study included 455 adults aged 17-65, excluding those undergoing invasive weight-loss interventions. The measured variables included EmR, weight consequence evaluation (WCE), weight management actions (WMA), and EnR, which were assessed using structured Likert-scale questionnaires. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were performed, with reliability evaluated via Cronbach's alpha and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). Statistical significance was set at

resultsThe questionnaires showed strong validity and reliability (KMO=0.91; Bartlett's test χ

conclusionThe validated instruments provide a reliable means of tailoring weight management strategies based on psychological readiness, potentially improving long-term outcomes.
