1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

purposeThe increased prevalence of body dissatisfaction and eating disordered behaviors (EDBs) among African American women warrants further examination of critical factors that may contribute to this recent trend. This study sought to investigate whether ethnic identification, spirituality, and internalization of the thin ideal would be associated with decreased body dissatisfaction and EDBs.

methodA convenience sample of 55 African American college women was recruited from a college campus. The Eating Attitudes Test, Eating Disorders Inventory, Multigroup Ethnic Identity Measure, Sociocultural Attitudes toward Appearance Questionnaire, Life Regard Index-R, and Spiritual Transcendence Index were administered.

resultsBody dissatisfaction and internalization of the thin ideal were positively associated with EDBs. Higher scores on meaning in life were negatively associated with body dissatisfaction. Spiritual transcendence and internalization of the thin ideal were positively associated with body dissatisfaction. Spiritual transcendence was positively associated with meaning in life.

conclusionsThese findings highlight the importance of exploring spirituality and ethnic identification in efforts to understand the relationships among the internalization of a thin ideal, body dissatisfaction, and EDBs in African American women. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level V, Evidence obtained from a cross-sectional descriptive study.
