Weight discrimination and metabolic syndrome: Examining discrimination attributions and frequency across settings.
Article in Health psychology : official journal of the Division of Health Psychology, American Psychological Association, 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
objectiveThis study examined characteristics of discrimination among participants with overweight and obesity, including discrimination attributions (i.e., attributed to weight and/or other personal characteristics) and discrimination frequency across settings (everyday life or medical settings), and their associations with metabolic syndrome.
methodParticipants with a BMI ≥ 25 kg/m² (
resultsParticipants attributing discrimination to both their weight and other personal characteristics had 31% higher odds of metabolic syndrome than those reporting no discrimination (
conclusionsFindings demonstrate the importance of assessing the burden of weight discrimination, including how multiple discrimination attributions and frequency of discrimination across settings may be associated with cardiometabolic health.
