Love and compassion: key ingredients in the treatment of obesity.
Review in International journal of obesity (2005), 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
Obesity management has traditionally focused on diet, physical activity, and medical interventions, while emotional and relational factors such as compassion, connection, and the reduction of shame remain underemphasized. Emerging evidence highlights the roles of love and compassion-defined as care, connection, and kindness toward oneself and others-as potential catalysts for sustainable lifestyle change. Compassion-based approaches reduce shame, stigma, and emotional dysregulation, thereby supporting self-care and motivation. This Perspective advances the view that integrating love and compassion into obesity treatment offers a more humane and potentially more effective framework for improving health and well-being among individuals living with obesity.
