Applicability of the Chinese weight self-stigma questionnaire and its relationships with depression, physical exercise, and quality of life.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
This study aims to validate the psychometric properties of the Chinese College Students' Weight Self-Stigma Questionnaire (WSSQ), with a focus on examining its cross-cultural adaptability to provide evidence for localized measurement tools. It further seeks to explore the mechanism through which weight self-stigma influences quality of life satisfaction, elucidating the chain mediating effects of physical exercise (behavior) and depression-anxiety-stress (psychology) to fill the gap in mechanistic research on these pathways. Study 1 assessed validity and reliability via item analysis, exploratory factor analysis (EFA), and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Study 2 used the WSSQ (two dimensions: self-devaluation, Fear of Enacted Stigma), physical exercise scale (frequency, intensity, duration), DASS-21 (three subscales), and life satisfaction scale to construct structural equation models for testing chain mediation. Study 1's EFA extracted two factors (self-devaluation, Fear of Enacted Stigma) explaining 63.05% variance. CFA showed excellent fit (χ
