Insecure striving as an exacerbator of the toxic effect of shame feelings on disordered eating.
Article in Eating and weight disorders : EWD, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundEmpirical evidence has previously shown the impact of shame and insecure striving on the emergence of eating psychopathology. However, interactions between these variables and the development of pathological eating remain unclear.
objectiveThe present study aimed at exploring the moderator effect of insecure striving on the relationship between shame and disordered eating, while controlling for BMI effects.
methodsParticipants of this study were 458 women from the general population, with a mean age of 30.74 (SD = 12.15) and a mean BMI of 23.14 kg/m
resultsResults showed that the study variables were positive and significantly intercorrelated. A multiple regression analysis revealed that insecure striving and shame explained 20.5% of disordered eating. The exacerbating role of insecure striving on the relationship between shame and disordered eating was further confirmed through path analysis. The model explained 38% of disordered eating and the plotted graph revealed that, for any level of shame, women who manifested a greater need to strive to avoid inferiority, expressed higher levels of disordered eating, in comparison to those who felt a lower pressure to prove others that they are attractive through the achievement of excellence goals.
conclusionsThese results support the notion that eating psychopathology may be regarded as a striving to avoid inferiority strategy, establishing an important avenue for disordered eating-related investigation and clinical practice. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level V, cross-sectional descriptive study.
