"My body…tends to betray me sometimes": a Qualitative Analysis of Affective and Perceptual Body Image in Individuals Living with Endometriosis.
Article in International journal of behavioral medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 14 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
backgroundEndometriosis is a chronic reproductive disease manifesting in physical symptoms including pain, abdominal swelling, altered bowel and bladder function, and fatigue. These symptoms potentially threaten body image regarding subjective perceptions of functional, appearance, and sensory aspects of one's body. The aim of this study was to qualitatively understand how endometriosis impacts on affective and perceptual aspects of body image.
methodParticipants (N = 40) were recruited through endometriosis consumer organizations. In an online survey, participants completed demographic and health history questions, then provided written narratives about body image-related impacts of their endometriosis in response to open-ended questions. These data were thematically analyzed using the template approach.
findingsThe majority of participants (M
conclusionThese findings highlight wide-ranging body image-related impacts of endometriosis, suggesting the need for targeted interventions to address these concerns.
