Beyond the Scale: Setting Goals for Outcomes Beyond Weight in Evidence-based Obesity Treatment.
Review in Current obesity reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
purpose of reviewAs definitions of obesity evolve beyond a sole focus on weight, evidence-based obesity treatments may also benefit from a broadening in focus. This review discusses benefits of setting goals with patients that expand beyond weight or anthropometric change, and reviews recent data on expected outcomes in four such domains where patients may often desire change: obesity-related diseases, health-related quality of life (HrQoL), body image, and weight bias internalization (WBI). RECENT
findingsLifestyle modification, obesity management medications, and metabolic and bariatric surgery can yield meaningful gains in obesity-related diseases, physical HrQoL, and body image. However, there is variability in response, and the expected magnitude of gains can differ by treatment approach and magnitude of weight loss. Less is known about WBI. Many patients are likely to see benefits beyond weight loss during treatment. Clarifying patients’ goals in these areas and aligning treatments accordingly can promote patient-centered care.
