Socioeconomic and Structural Barriers to Addressing Obesity in Communities: A Scientific Statement From the American Heart Association.
Review in Circulation, 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
The obesity epidemic continues largely unabated, affecting more than one-third of the US population and disproportionately burdening individuals from socioeconomically disadvantaged populations. Numerous factors contribute to the high prevalence of obesity, including socioeconomic and structural barriers impeding primordial and primary prevention efforts. Despite broad recognition that social determinants of health are key drivers of obesity, the importance of socioeconomic and structural factors as contemporary barriers to individual-, community-, and population-level obesity prevention and intervention efforts remains underappreciated. This scientific statement highlights multilevel barriers to obesity prevention and management, with an emphasis on social determinants of health, societal culture, and shared biases that may interfere with the success of healthy weight management programs. The assessment includes a comprehensive review of policy and community-level strategies used to address the obesity epidemic and identifies key areas for future research.
