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

objectiveThe current study investigates the hypothesis that the effect of low self-esteem on binge eating in bariatric candidates was mediated by both difficulties in the perception of bodily signals and impulse regulation after accounting for gender, age, and body mass index.

method59 preoperative patients (both male and female) were screened by means of self-report measures of self-esteem, interoceptive deficits, impulse dysregulation, and severity of binge eating. Results: Results indicated that all direct effects were significant, except for the self-esteem on impulse dysregulation and the interoceptive deficits on binge eating. Self-esteem had a significant indirect effect on impulse dysregulation mediated by interoceptive deficits. Impulse dysregulation, in turn, mediates the effect of interoceptive deficits on binge eating. Moreover, the path starting from self-esteem, going first to interoceptive deficits, then going via impulse regulation difficulties to binge eating was significant. RESULTS AND

conclusionsA potential underlying mechanism through which self-esteem is linked to binge eating has been suggested. Obese individuals who perceived themselves as inadequate may carry a stronger burden by the confusion and mistrust related to bodily functioning and, consequently, may act more impulsively, through binge eating.
