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/

objectiveThis cross-sectional study applied the self-regulation resource model of self-compassion to people with multiple sclerosis (PwMS). We examined the role of body compassion as a resilience resource and its associations with self-regulation resources (affect and self-efficacy) and health behaviors (substance use, exercise, and social engagement). RESEARCH METHOD/

designParticipants were

resultsBody compassion was associated with all self-regulation resources. However, not all self-regulation resources mediate the relationship between body compassion and health behaviors. Health self-efficacy partially mediated the relationship between body compassion, social relations, and drug use, while negative affect partially mediated the body compassion-drug use relation. Model fit was generally good across analyses. CONCLUSIONS/IMPLICATIONS: The study expands the theory of body compassion to a clinical sample of PwMS, suggesting that body compassion may be an important factor in various health behaviors relevant to MS. The findings highlight the potential of self-efficacy and negative affect as self-regulation resources in the relationship between body compassion and health behaviors. These insights could help rehabilitation psychologists and multidisciplinary care teams in developing interventions to enhance resilience and maintain adaptive health behaviors in PwMS.
