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

Body dissatisfaction is a normative experience with the potential to impact women's mental and physical health. It is closely related to self-objectification, where the body is viewed as an object for aesthetic evaluation rather than for its functional attributes. Self-objectification not only affects women's body image but is associated with diminished subjective awareness of, and attention towards, internal bodily states (i.e., interoceptive sensibility). This study uses network analysis and network comparison to investigate the relationships between features of interoceptive sensibility and self-objectification in women with high (N = 348) and low (N = 354) body dissatisfaction. The results firstly revealed significant differences in the connections between interoceptive sensibility and self-objectification in women with high and low body dissatisfaction (p = 0.026). High body dissatisfaction in women was characterised by lower levels of body listening, self-regulation, and body trusting. Alternatively, high emotional awareness was most central to women with low body dissatisfaction. This study highlights the central role of interoceptive sensibility in body dissatisfaction and identifies key features of interoceptive sensibility to target for improving body dissatisfaction.
