Weight stigma is associated with reduced dietary diversity in women and older adults with diabetes.
Article in BMC nutrition, 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
backgroundPrevious studies on patients with diabetes have reported that weight stigma is associated with overeating and poor dietary self-control. Moreover, reports examining the associations between weight stigma and decreased dietary diversity in patients with diabetes do not exist. Therefore, we examined the relationship between weight stigma and dietary diversity in this patient population.
methodsIn this study, the dietary diversity in patients with diabetes receiving outpatient treatment at Ise Red Cross Hospital were measure using Food Frequency Score (FFS) and Protein Food Frequency Score (PFFS). The Japanese version of the Weight Self-Stigma Questionnaire (WSSQ-J) was used to measure weight stigma. Using multiple regression analysis with FFS and PFFS as dependent variables and WSSQ-J scores (WSSQ-J total, self-devaluation subscale and fear of enacted subscale scores) as explanatory variables, standardized partial regression coefficients (β) for weight stigma and dietary diversity were calculated based on sex and age.
resultsA total of 315 patients (178 men and 137 women) were included in the analysis. The adjusted β for FFS of the fear of enacted subscale scores in women and older adults were - 0.209 (P = 0.026) and - 0.157 (P = 0.040), respectively. Furthermore, the adjusted β for the PFFS of the fear of enacted subscale scores in women and older adults were - 0.216 (P = 0.026) and - 0.191 (P = 0.014), respectively. There was no relationship with FFS and PFFS for WSSQ-J total scores, self-devaluation subscale scores or fear of enacted subscale scores in men and younger participants aged < 65 years.
conclusionsThe results of the present study revealed that weight stigma (fear or embarrassment about being stigmatized because of weight) was associated with reduced dietary diversity among women and the older adults with diabetes.
