A Scoping Review of Racial Identity, Racial Socialization, and Africentric Worldview in the Context of Obesity in Black Adolescent Females.
Review in Journal of racial and ethnic health disparities, 2025. 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
objectiveBlack adolescent females and women are disproportionately burdened by obesity that is attributed to structural and interpersonal racism. Previous researchers described that three protective mechanisms (racial identity, racial socialization, and Africentric worldview) serve as forms of coping for Black adolescent females with obesity. The purpose of this scoping review was to summarize evidence on the relationships among racial identity, racial socialization, and Africentric worldview in the context of obesity (body mass index, physical activity, and diet) among Black adolescent females.
methodsSix literature databases were searched for peer-reviewed studies published in English and included a sample with 50% or more Black adolescent females (age 10-19 years). Studies that reported a sample of participants over 24 years of age and/or with less than 50% Black adolescent females or did not report the findings for Black female participants separately and did not discuss racial identity, racial socialization, andAfricentric worldview in the context of obesity were excluded. The last search was performed on July 8, 2025.
resultsSix studies met eligibility criteria. The foci of studies included racial identity (n = 5) and racial socialization (n = 4). None of the studies assessed Africentric worldview. DISCUSSION: Findings suggest protective mechanisms (racial identity and racial socialization) are linked with obesity; however, the nature and pathways of the association are unknown. These preliminary findings can inform the development of culturally tailored obesity prevention intervention strategies designed for Black adolescent females.
