Internalized Weight Bias Is Associated With Dysregulated Affect and Binge Eating in Daily Life Among Adults of High Body Weight With and Without HIV.
Article in Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, 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
backgroundHigh weight status (ie, body mass index ≥30 kg) is prevalent among people living with HIV, yet few studies have examined internalized weight bias (IWB) and its links to health outcomes in this population.
objectiveThis study examined whether momentary IWB was associated with contemporaneous and prospective risk for dysregulated affect and binge eating in the daily lives of adults of high weight status with HIV, and a reference group of adults of high weight status without HIV.
designThis study is a secondary analysis of data from a 2-week ecological momentary assessment study conducted from 2018 to 2019 in Rhode Island. Five signal-contingent prompts were delivered daily at semirandom intervals to assess outcomes. PARTICIPANTS/
settingParticipants were aged 18 years and older with a body mass index ≥30 with an HIV diagnosis (n = 28) and without an HIV diagnosis (n = 39).
main outcome measuresMomentary negative affect, positive affect, stress, and binge eating were assessed. STATISTICAL ANALYSES PERFORMED: Momentary IWB was within-person centered. Multilevel generalized linear models with a random intercept were used to test associations between IWB and outcomes. Models were run separately for adults with vs without HIV. Covariates were sexual orientation, race/ethnicity, gender, age, education level, body mass index, ecological momentary assessment adherence, and time.
resultsAmong people living with HIV, momentary elevations in IWB were associated with lower likelihood of positive affect (P < .01) and greater likelihood of binge eating (P < .05) at the same ecological momentary assessment prompt, and with lower likelihood of positive affect (P < .05) and greater likelihood of negative affect (P < .05) at the subsequent prompt. Among adults without HIV, momentary elevations in IWB were associated with a greater likelihood of concurrent negative affect (P < .001), stress (P < .001), and binge eating (P < .05), and with a greater likelihood of prospective stress (P < .01).
conclusionsFindings link momentary elevations in IWB to dysregulated affect and binge eating in the daily lives of adults of higher weight, both with and without HIV. Future research investigating IWB in people living with HIV is warranted, given the limited work in this population.
