Unveiling the complex landscape of successful weight loss: Perceived consequences and spontaneous self-concept insights.
Article in Journal of health psychology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 explores the perceived positive and negative consequences, as well as the spontaneous self-concept of 60 individuals who have achieved successful weight loss. Using a descriptive-transversal, exploratory design and Directed Qualitative Content Analysis, semi-structured interviews were analyzed. A quantitative exploration of the associations between the emergent categories was conducted using multiple correspondence analysis, which revealed a four-factor model: (1) all gains (health, psychological and social) but the body image, (2) role-model and bodily efficacious with fallouts (psychological and family), (3) body satisfaction and sexual disinhibition, and (4) supported while bodily unsatisfied. The findings highlight the dual nature of successful weight loss, showing both positive and negative consequences that should be considered in intervention planning. Additionally, the qualitative analysis of self-concept contributes to the growing literature in this field. A predominantly positive spontaneous self-concept was observed, suggesting that both dimensions may enhance success, making their understanding crucial for effective interventions.
