Weight Stigma in the Metabolic Bariatric Surgery Context: Current State of the Literature, Conceptual Model, and Looking Forward.
Review in Current obesity reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the 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.
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
purpose of review(1) Summarize the recent research literature on weight stigma in the metabolic bariatric surgery (MBS) context, (2) Propose a conceptual model, (3) Discuss future directions for researchers and clinicians. RECENT
findingsThere has been an explosion of research on weight stigma since the joint international consensus statement for ending stigma of obesity in 2020. The MBS literature has also expanded, with improvements in methodological rigor, international focus, and mixed-methods approaches. Our proposed conceptual model is derived from research and clinical experience on the patient impacts of weight stigma in the MBS context. Weight stigma should be conceptualized as affecting every stage of MBS, including the development and exacerbation of obesity, access to care, the peri-operative process, and long-term biopsychosocial health. Future directions include countering stigma through public health and systems-level messaging, strengths-focused approaches, bridging divides across fields, and adapting evidence-based paradigms to address stigma internalization.
