The association between body image, emotional health, relationships, and unhealthy dietary behaviors among medical sciences students: A structural equation modeling analysis.
Article in Neuropsychopharmacology reports, 2022. 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
aimAlthough it showed that poor body image may drive an individual to unhealthy dietary behaviors, but less is known about the role of emotional health and interpersonal relationships in this regard in different age group of population. This study aimed to investigate the association between body image, emotional health, relationships, and unhealthy dietary behaviors among medical sciences students.
methodsIn this cross-sectional study, using a three-stage stratified sampling method, 248 Iranian medical sciences students were recruited. The participants completed self-administered questionnaires, including Youth Risk Behavior Survey Questionnaire, Adolescent Health Concerns Inventory, and Body Image Concern Inventory. The data were analyzed using SPSS-20 and structural equation modeling in the Amos software version 24.
resultsThe results indicate the acceptability of the goodness of fit model index. Direct association of body image with emotional health (β = 0.91, p = 0.005) and relationships (β = 0.88, p = 0.009) was significant, but any direct and indirect association between body and unhealthy dietary behaviors was not found.
conclusionThis study underlines the importance of being aware of the association between body image, emotional health, and relationships Further studies are recommended to explore the relationship between these factors and unhealthy dietary behaviors in medical sciences students.
