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

objectiveSelf-compassion comprises treating oneself non-judgementally with kindness and understanding during life challenges. Our aim was to identify, from among a diverse set of sociodemographic, lifestyle behavioural, psychological, family/peer social influence, and health indicators, factors associated with low self-compassion in a population-based sample of young adults.

methodsData on 37 factors potentially associated with low self-compassion were drawn from cycle 23 of the ongoing 24-year Nicotine Dependence in Teens (NDIT) study for 682 participants (M

resultsSixteen percent of participants reported low self-compassion. Factors associated with low self-compassion included female sex, poor sleep quality, higher frequency of overeating, trying to lose weight, higher depressive symptoms, low self-esteem, higher daily stress, body-related emotions, higher introjected regulation for physical activity, receiving negative comments about weight, poor self-rated health, and diagnosis of a mood or anxiety disorder.

conclusionA complex array of factors may influence self-compassion, underscoring the need for better understanding of causality as well as the relationships across factors to determine which factors hold promise in terms of intervention.
