Weight discrimination and cardiometabolic health in underrepresented US adults.
Article in Journal of behavioral medicine, 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
This study investigated the association between perceived weight discrimination and cardiometabolic health. A demographically diverse sample of 2632 US adults (36% Black/African American; 36% Hispanic/Latino; 29% sexual minority) completed a cross-sectional online survey. Linear regression was used to assess the association between perceived weight discrimination (assessed with the Stigmatizing Situations Survey-Brief) and cardiometabolic risk (indicated by the number of cardiometabolic conditions reported: high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart disease, stroke, kidney disease, or diabetes), adjusting for body mass index and demographic characteristics. Cigarette smoking, alcohol use, and sleep disturbance were investigated as mediators. Perceived weight discrimination was associated with higher cardiometabolic risk. Further, greater exposure to weight discrimination was associated with higher likelihood of smoking, problematic drinking behavior, and disrupted sleep, and those behaviors in turn predicted higher cardiometabolic risk. Findings underscore the importance of addressing the negative health consequences of weight discrimination in cardiometabolic disease prevention programs.
