Muscle Mass and Vitamin B6 Are Linked to Negative Body Image in Women with Anorexia Nervosa: A Retrospective Study.
Article in Nutrients, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
introductionAnorexia nervosa severely impacts the physical body and mental body (i.e., body image). In this retrospective study, we investigated the relationship between the perceived body image and body composition in women with anorexia nervosa. Specifically, we aimed to verify what components (i.e., weight, body composition, and micronutrients) may predict a higher number of symptoms of negative body image in this clinical condition.
methodsWeight status and body composition, including the expressions of vitamins, and body image concerns were measured in a sample of 112 women with anorexia nervosa (age in years M = 26.78; SD = 12; range = 14-67).
resultsAccording to the regression analysis, a higher skeletal muscle mass and a higher concentration of vitamin B6 seemed to predict a higher number of symptoms of negative body image in our sample.
conclusionsThis study pointed out muscle mass and the concentration of vitamin B6 as involved in the psychological expression of body image concerns in anorexia nervosa, especially at the beginning of the disease. Thus, we may suggest including and monitoring these parameters in routine care for anorexia nervosa.
