1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundAssociations between weight stigma (WS) and disordered eating behaviors (DEBs) vary based on the WS source (eg, family, strangers). However, no research has examined how (mis)matches in WS perpetrators' and targets' races and genders relate to targets' DEBs in the natural environment (eg, home, work/school).

objectiveThis study examined whether associations between daily WS and DEBs differed: for Black vs White women, based on whether there were (mis)matches in the races and-separately-genders of WS perpetrators and targets.

designThis is a secondary analysis of a remote daily diary study conducted in the Mid-Atlantic United States. Participants completed nightly surveys on mobile devices for 14 days from January 2019 to July 2020. PARTICIPANTS/

settingParticipants included Black (n = 58) and White (n = 86) women with body dissatisfaction (ages 18 to 35 years).

main outcome measuresOutcomes included binge eating, overeating, loss of control eating, and dietary restriction (skipped meals, refused food/drinks, replaced meals with no/low-calorie substances, and limited food amount). STATISTICAL ANALYSES PERFORMED: Multilevel models examined whether associations between daily WS by men, women, Black or White perpetrators (vs no daily WS; independent variables) and daily DEBs (outcomes) differed for Black vs White women (moderator).

resultsAssociations between daily WS and different DEBs were generally largest for Black women when WS was perpetrated by women and, for White women, by men (with exceptions). For example, on days when Black women experienced WS by other women, they were more likely than White women to engage in binge eating (b = .14 ± .06; P = .024), refuse food/drinks (b = .21 ± .07; P = .004), and limit the amount of food they ate (b = .27 ± .10; P = .008). (Mis)matches in WS perpetrators' and targets' races were not associated with Black or White women's daily DEBs (P values > .05).

conclusionsFindings suggest that associations between daily WS and DEBs are especially harmful for women with multiple marginalized identities (Black women), particularly when Black women experience WS by women perpetrators. Further WS research centered on Black women's experiences is needed.
