Changes to Weight Bias Internalization and Eating Behaviors in Adults Aged 50+ With Overweight or Obesity During a Structured 12-Week Behavioral Weight Management Intervention.
Article in Obesity science & practice, 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
Background: Weight stigma is a prevalent issue among individuals with overweight and obesity pursuing weight loss; however, few studies have examined this issue in middle-aged and older adults. Treatment-seeking populations may also be at risk of disordered eating or excess concern about weight and shape; thus, it is important to evaluate how these parameters may change over the course of a weight loss intervention. Methods: Adults aged 50+ ( Results: Forty-five percent of participants reported previous experiences of weight stigma at baseline through either teasing, unfair treatment, or discrimination. At baseline, the mean WBIS-M score was 3.37 (SD 1.03). From baseline to post-intervention, there were decreases (all Conclusions: These findings suggest that participating in a structured behavioral weight loss program may have beneficial effects on weight bias, body shape concern, and binge eating, consistent with previous findings in weight management interventions in younger populations. Future work is needed to determine if changes to weight bias internalization and eating behaviors persist during weight loss maintenance.
