Intolerance of uncertainty and repetitive negative thinking: transdiagnostic moderators of perfectionism in eating disorders.
Article in Journal of eating disorders, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Perfectionism has been identified as a vulnerability and maintenance factor across eating disorders (EDs). Additionally, research has found that intolerance of uncertainty (IU) and repetitive negative thinking (RNT) moderate the relationship between perfectionism and psychopathology. Despite this evidence, few studies have examined if these factors specifically moderate ED severity. This study aimed to fill this gap by investigating the moderating effect of IU and RNT on the relationship between perfectionism and ED symptoms, as well as the predictive power of these factors on identifying participants with clinically significant ED symptoms. 331 treatment-seeking adults from a university-affiliated community clinic and 264 undergraduate students completed measures to assess ED symptoms, RNT, perfectionism and IU. 147 participants (24.7% of the total sample) had clinically significant levels of ED symptoms as determined by the Eating Disorder Questionnaire Short-Form (EDE-QS). Multiple linear regressions found significant associations between ED symptoms and both the IU*perfectionism interaction (p < .001) and the RNT*perfectionism interaction (p < .001). A binary logistic regression identified that both the IU*perfectionism interaction (p = .03) and the RNT*perfectionism interaction (p = .001) predicted clinically significant EDE-QS scores. The findings indicate that both IU and RNT moderate the relationship between perfectionism and ED symptoms and build on previous literature recognising transdiagnostic contributors to ED symptomatology.
