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

Substantial evidence highlights the pervasive nature of weight stigma, reported by people of all ages and backgrounds. Weight stigma is experienced across the life course and in many settings across society. These harmful experiences may include verbal and physical behaviours, with long-lasting effects on mental and physical health. They may also impact the patient-practitioner when weight stigma is experienced in a healthcare setting, as well as reducing health seeking behaviour and avoidance of healthcare. It is therefore essential that weight stigma in healthcare is addressed given the important implications of these experiences in this setting, Interventions need to be longer term and given the widespread nature of weight stigma, change is needed throughout society from policy to practice. Thus, a whole system approach to weight stigma is needed to address the entrenched and often robust nature of weight stigma attitudes.
