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

Experimental evidence indicates that exposure to weight stigma can lead to sustained elevations in cortisol and ambulatory blood pressure. However, little is known about its acute effects on other physiological markers. This study aimed to explore the feasibility of measuring the physiological response of weight stigma, a novel weight stigmatising paradigm and preliminary efficacy signals. In a prospective randomised feasibility study, women living with obesity were assigned to either a weight stigmatising or non-weight stigmatising paradigm (15 min) and physiological response measured from baseline to 120 min. Eighteen women living with obesity were recruited (nine participants in each group; mean age 43.2 years (SD 10.3); body mass index of 45.8 kg/m
