The moderating role of negative urgency on the associations between affect, dietary restraint, and calorie intake: An experimental study.

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 present study tested the moderating role of negative urgency (NU), a personality trait characterized by a tendency to act impulsively in the face of emotional distress, on the associations between dietary restraint, affect, and calorie intake following a mood manipulation. Undergraduate women reported levels of NU and dietary restraint and underwent a failure task intended to induce a negative mood. Participants then completed mood ratings and a sham taste assessment task in which calorie intake was measured. NU enhanced the association between dietary restraint and calorie intake, such that participants who reported higher levels of dietary restraint consumed more calories, and this effect was strongest among participants who were high on NU. NU also enhanced the association between positive, but not negative, affect and calorie intake. Specifically, participants who were high on NU and reported lower positive affect consumed more calories than participants who were low on NU. These findings suggest that NU plays a synergistic role in increasing calorie intake among individuals who engage in dietary restraint or experience low positive affect.
