Self-Disgust, Body-Related Attentional Bias and Body Dissatisfaction: A Virtual Reality and Eye-Tracking Exploration.
Article in The International journal of eating disorders, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
objectiveThis study examines the relationships between self-disgust, body dissatisfaction (BD), and attentional biases (AB) toward weight-related body areas, exploring whether self-disgust predicts attentional avoidance and moderates the relationship between BD and AB.
methodUsing virtual reality and eye-tracking technology, 78 female students viewed their virtual bodies in a mirror to assess gaze patterns as an indicator of attentional bias.
resultsBD was positively associated with both AB and self-disgust. Contrary to expectations, self-disgust correlated with increased attention to weight-related areas rather than avoidance and did not moderate the BD-AB relationship. DISCUSSION: These findings suggest that self-disgust may reinforce attention toward weight-related areas, contributing to negative body image. Future research should explore these mechanisms in clinical populations to inform targeted interventions.
