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 present study aimed to examine: (a) whether distinct momentary emotion dysregulation dimensions differentially mediated momentary associations between affect and disordered eating behaviours (DEBs) in the natural environment; (b) whether these associations differed based on affect, emotion dysregulation, and DEB type.

method150 women with eating disorder pathology (Mage = 20.95, SD = 4.14) completed 4 surveys targeting affect, emotion dysregulation, and DEBs each day for a 10-day ecological momentary assessment period. Multilevel structural equation models examined whether four momentary emotion dysregulation dimensions (difficulties with emotional and behavioural modulation, lack of emotional acceptance, awareness, and clarity) mediated momentary associations between negative and positive affect (PA), and loss of control eating, overeating, and dietary restriction.

resultsMomentary difficulties with emotional and behavioural modulation mediated momentary associations between negative affect (NA) and women's loss of control eating and overeating. These findings did not extend to PA, the other emotion dysregulation dimensions, or dietary restriction.

conclusionsCollectively, these results support emotional and behavioural modulation deficits in the natural environment as potential transdiagnostic maintenance mechanisms of overeating and loss of control eating. These findings also support the potential benefits of targeting NA and this type of emotion dysregulation in existing and novel real-time eating disorders interventions.
