Discrimination of persons living with obesity by healthcare professionals.

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 is a highly prevalent and complex condition with biomedical, psychological, and social dimensions that pose major challenges for healthcare systems. Beyond its clinical consequences, people living with obesity frequently experience weight-based discrimination in healthcare settings, undermining care quality and equity. This paper examines key mechanisms underlying obesity-related stigma among healthcare professionals, including attribution of excess weight to individual responsibility and the internalization of stigma by patients. Drawing on current evidence, it analyses how negative attitudes of healthcare professionals contribute to suboptimal clinical interactions, inadequate care environments, and reduced patient engagement. These processes may weaken the therapeutic relationship, hinder treatment adherence, and negatively affect physical and mental health outcomes. Addressing obesity stigma requires targeted professional training, adaptation of care environments, and inclusive health policies to ensure equitable and respectful care for this population.
