Mediation models of anxiety and depression between temperament and drive for thinness and body dissatisfaction in anorexia nervosa.
Article in Eating and weight disorders : EWD, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
purposeAnorexia nervosa (AN) is a life-threatening condition in which temperament, anxiety, depression, and core AN body-related psychopathology (drive for thinness, DT, and body dissatisfaction, BD) are intertwined. This relationship has not been to date disentangled; therefore, we performed a multiple mediation analysis aiming to quantify the effect of each component.
methodsAn innovative multiple mediation statistical method has been applied to data from 184 inpatients with AN completing: Temperament Evaluation of Memphis, Pisa, Paris, and San Diego Autoquestionnaire, Eating Disorders Inventory-2, State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, and Beck Depression Inventory.
resultsAll affective temperaments but the hyperthymic one were involved in the relationship with DT and BD. Only the anxious temperament had a significant unmediated direct effect on DT after the strictest correction for multiple comparisons, while the depressive temperament had a significant direct effect on DT at a less strict significance level. State anxiety was the strongest mediator of the link between affective temperament and core AN body-related psychopathology. Depression showed intermediate results while trait anxiety was not a significant mediator at all.
conclusionAffective temperaments had a relevant impact on body-related core components of AN; however, a clear direct effect could be identified only for the anxious and depressive temperaments. Also, state anxiety was the strongest mediator thus entailing interesting implications in clinical practice. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: V, cross-sectional study.
