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

Purpose: To explore the impact and mechanism of weight status on the disordered eating behavior of university students, this study conducted a moderated chain mediation model based on the Escape Theory and the Strength Model of Self-Control. Methods: This was a cross-sectional online study conducted at a university in Shanghai. The questionnaire was distributed via communication tools such as WeChat from March 6 to 15, 2022, receiving 2618 valid responses. The moderated chain mediation model was empirically examined with 10,000 Bootstrap samples using AMOS software. Results: (1) Weight status can indirectly predict disordered eating behavior through the mediating effect of body dissatisfaction (β = 0.24, 95% CI: 0.22-0.26, Conclusion: These findings revealed the pathways through which weight status affects the eating behavior of university students and how physical activity might weaken or strengthen this impact. This research supplements prior studies and offers insight into health promotion for university students.
