Beyond the Mirror: Future Orientation Reduces Self-Objectification.
Article in Archives of sexual behavior, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Self-objectification is a common phenomenon that has extensive adverse consequences for both women and men. The current research aimed to provide a preliminary test to see whether future orientation, a tendency to plan and consider long-term goals, could reduce people's self-objectification tendencies. In addition, we examined whether perceived meaning in life could account for this effect. These predictions were supported across three studies (N = 837) using multiple methods. In Study 1, participants who were induced to adopt a future orientation (vs. present orientation) assigned less points to attributes focusing on physical appearance. Studies 2 and 3 demonstrated the mediating role of perceived meaning in life in the relationship between future orientation and self-objectification with a correlational study (Study 2) and an experimental study (Study 3). Importantly, the predicted effects emerged among both genders. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.
