Classification of Obesity Based on Weight History: Perceptions of People With Obesity.
Article in Clinical obesity, 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
Two Brazilian medical societies have proposed a new classification of obesity based on the maximum weight attained in an individual's lifetime, to be used in the clinical evaluation of individuals undergoing obesity treatment. This classification, which applies to adults aged 18 to 65 years, categorises people with obesity (PwO) who lose a certain percentage of their weight as having either 'reduced' or 'controlled' obesity. While the classification aims to improve patient care, there is limited data on PwO perceptions. To explore this, a cross-sectional online survey was conducted with 500 PwO, including an explanation and clinical case of the new classification. The survey revealed that 64% of participants had never been asked by a healthcare professional (HCP) about their maximum weight. After knowing the new classification, 82% found it useful for changing perceptions about obesity treatment; 66% felt it would encourage them to seek treatment; 63% believed it would help with treatment maintenance; and 74% indicated they would feel better achieving 'controlled obesity,' even if the weight loss fell short of their goals. A majority agreed that the classification could help establish realistic goals (77%) and reduce biases from HCPs (69%). Overall, PwO perceived the classification as beneficial for encouraging treatment and reducing stigma.
