Presentation of a weight bias internalization tool for use in pregnancy and a call for future research: A commentary.
Article in Obesity pillars, 2024. 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
Background: Emerging evidence has shown that weight stigma is a concern during pregnancy, with several studies documenting common sources including healthcare, the media and interpersonal networks. Experiencing weight stigma may lead to weight bias internalization (WBI), whereby individuals accept and self-direct negative weight-related stereotypes, and limited research has assessed this in the context of pregnancy. Pregnancy is unique in terms of weight changes as many individuals will experience gestational weight gain (GWG). Accordingly, a WBI tool that accounts for GWG may be a more population-specific resource to use. Methods: This commentary presents a pregnancy-specific WBI tool that accounts for GWG. The validated Adult WBI scale was modified to include 'pregnancy weight gain'. This commentary also presents a brief summary of research that has assessed WBI in pregnancy and recommendations for future work. Results: Recommended future work includes validation of the pregnancy-specific WBI tool and prospective examinations of weight stigma and WBI in pregnancy and implications on maternal and newborn outcomes. Conclusion: Ultimately this research may inform development of interventions and resources to mitigate weight stigma and WBI in pregnancy and overall may contribute to improving prenatal outcomes and experiences.
