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

The awareness of our body arises from the convergence between physical (e.g., autonomic signals, perception of body in space) and mental (e.g., subjective sensations) components. The divergence between these components could characterise bodily self-awareness distortions that are typical of some neuropsychiatric syndromes, such as Anorexia Nervosa. We investigated this hypothesis by testing 22 women with restrictive-type AN and a matched sample of 22 healthy women with a multisensory integration paradigm. Participants underwent the Mirror Box Illusion, by which we explored three different (typically convergent) elements of bodily self-awareness: (i) the subjective experiences of embodiment, (ii) hand localisation, and (iii) the skin temperature change associated with the manipulation. In people with AN, we found an altered orchestration between skin temperature changes, explicit sensations of embodiment and proprioceptive bias. These components were modulated differently by the experimental condition compared to healthy controls. These findings suggest that targeted interventions to restore the convergence bodily self-awareness components might be beneficial in treating the self distortions associated with AN.
