Weight Misperception, Weight Dissatisfaction, and Weight Change Among a Swiss Population-Based Adult Sample.
Article in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2025. 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/
objectivesWe investigated the effect of weight misperception or dissatisfaction among individuals of normal BMI on their long-term weight changes.
methodsData from the three follow-ups of the CoLaus|PsyCoLaus study (2009-2012, 2014-2017, and 2018-2021) conducted in Lausanne, Switzerland. Participants with a BMI < 25 kg/m
resultsOverall, 1826 (66.1% women, 55.9 ± 9.9 years) and 1089 (62.7% women, 61.2 ± 9.6 years) participants of surveys 2009-2012 and 2014-2017, respectively, were retained for analysis. Prevalence of weight misperception was 15.9% (95% CI: 14.2-17.6) and 11.5% (95% CI: 9.6-13.5) in 2009-2012 and 2014-2017, respectively. The corresponding values for weight dissatisfaction were 28.9% (95% CI: 26.8-31.0) and 20.9% (95% CI: 18.6-23.5). After multivariable analysis, participants with weight misperception/dissatisfaction had a higher likelihood (
conclusionsOur study found that weight misperception/dissatisfaction in normal-weight, middle-aged individuals was associated with weight loss over time.
