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

backgroundWeight stigma and weight discrimination refer to the negative attitudes and behaviours towards people with higher weight, because of their body size. Experiences of weight stigma in healthcare settings and within weight management interventions contribute to poor psychological and physical health and healthcare avoidance. This study aimed to develop a checklist for healthcare professionals and providers of weight management interventions to minimize weight stigmatisation, to the extent possible, in these interventions and settings.

methodsBased on existing literature on the contributors to weight stigma in healthcare, members of the Eating Disorders In Weight-Related Therapy (EDIT) Collaboration Weight Stigma Working Group drafted and refined the checklist items using an iterative process. The items were then pilot-tested by two reviewers. A 21-item checklist, organized into four domains: (1) planning and personnel; (2) intervention design and content; (3) outcomes and monitoring; and (4) additional components, was validated via an online survey. Healthcare professionals, researchers, and individuals with lived experience of higher weight evaluated the clarity, relevance, and importance of each item. The Content Validity Index (CVI), Content Validity Ratio (CVR), and participant feedback were used to refine the final version of the checklist.

conclusionThe EDIT Weight Stigma Reduction Checklist has value in assisting providers to design, deliver, and implement weight management interventions to take a priori action to minimise weight stigma in practice.
