Updating theoretical frameworks in body dysmorphic disorder: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Review in JAAD international, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Background: Real world studies and psychological literature often do not consolidate existing data with theoretical models on body dysmorphic disorder (BDD). Objective: This systematic review aims to refine and empirically support the conceptual understanding of BDD through an updated theoretical framework. Methods: We systematically searched PubMed, Embase, CENTRAL, Scopus, and Web of Science from database inception to 26 November 2023 for studies reporting factors predisposing or associated with a diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders IV/V confirmed diagnosis of BDD. Data analysis was performed qualitatively or via random effects meta-analysis, followed by a critical appraisal and integration with existing theories. Results: Twenty four studies comprising 961 BDD patients and 230,076 healthy controls were analyzed. Marriage is a protective factor (pooled risk ratio 0.67, Conclusion: Understanding and recognizing patients with BDD is important as successful therapies need to correct the underlying psychological component. Further research should explore relationships between cognitive and behavioral aspects of BDD.
