Exploring the Role of Internalized Weight Bias as a Metric of Cumulative Social Disadvantage Among People With Obesity or Overweight: Insights From the OBSERVE Study.
Article in Obesity science & practice, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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: Experiencing bias and stigma are social determinants of health (SDoH). Recently, internalized weight bias (IWB) has been included as an SDoH in obesity medicine. This study examined the association of IWB with other pillars of SDoH and how IWB contributes to cumulative social disadvantage for people living with obesity. Methods: A cross-sectional, web-based survey was conducted in the United States (May-December 2022) with a sample of adults with obesity or overweight. Multiple linear regression was performed to evaluate the relationship between WSSQ (higher score indicating experiencing more IWB) and other pillars of SDoH. Results: Participants who reported race as Black (adjusted mean difference [95% CI] -3.86 [-5.21, -2.52]; Conclusion: The study showed that IWB is associated with certain other pillars of SDoH. Findings highlight the need for a comprehensive and patient-centric approach to managing individuals with greater IWB, which may contribute to a higher cumulative social disadvantage and, consequently, worse health outcomes.
