Associations Between Body Mass Index, Body Image Satisfaction, and Self-Weighing During a Behavioral Weight Loss Program.
Article in Obesity science & practice, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04116853 (Evaluation of an Adaptive Intervention for Weight Loss Maintenance), which is not on this 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.

Abstract
Background: Greater adherence to daily self-weighing has been associated with improved outcomes within behavioral weight-loss programs. Identifying factors that can predict adherence to self-weighing may support the development of novel tailored interventions. Methods: The current study examined whether baseline body mass index (BMI) and body image satisfaction (assessed via the Body Image States Scale [BISS]) predicted adherence to self-weighing during a 16-week behavioral weight-loss program in 449 adults with obesity (mean ± SD age = 49.47 ± 11.37 years; BMI = 35.73 ± 4.03 kg/m Results: At baseline, average (mean ± SD) BISS scores were 3.57 ± 1.28; higher BMI was associated with lower BISS scores, Conclusions: Although results demonstrating negative associations between BMI and body image satisfaction and between self-weighing adherence and weight loss were consistent with prior literature, the lack of an association between BMI, BISS, and self-weighing was not consistent with hypotheses or the prior cross-sectional literature. Given the role self-weighing plays in behavioral weight-loss programs, future research should aim to identify other predictors of self-weighing adherence.
