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

backgroundResearch supports the relation between acculturative stress and eating pathology across racially and ethnically diverse groups of women. However, relatively few studies have examined mechanisms of this link. The current study addressed these gaps by examining the potential roles of thin-, muscular-, and hourglass-ideal internalization and body dissatisfaction as mediators of the relation between acculturative stress and eating pathology among Asian, Black, and Latina women.

methodsAdult women from across the United States (Asian N = 308; Black N = 389; Latina N = 234) completed measures of acculturative stress, body dissatisfaction, and eating pathology. Analyses investigated the direct and indirect roles of body image ideal internalization (thin-, muscular-, hourglass-) and body dissatisfaction as mediators of the relation between acculturative stress and eating pathology in each racial and ethnic group.

resultsResults identified a significant association between acculturative stress and eating pathology among all three groups of women (Asian, Black, and Latina). Also, across all groups, thin-, muscular-, and hourglass-ideal internalization mediated the relation between acculturative stress and eating pathology. Finally, body dissatisfaction mediated the relation between acculturative stress and eating pathology within the subsamples of Asian and Black women.

conclusionInterventions addressing eating disorder symptoms and body image could benefit from incorporating content related to acculturative stress and the impact of diverse body ideals, including thin, muscular, and hourglass, to enhance support for Black, Latina, and Asian women.
