Intraminority stress, body image, and community connectedness: associations with disordered eating among sexual minority men.
Article in 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 10 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
backgroundSexual minority men (SMM) experience high rates of disordered eating, potentially related to stressors stemming from within the SMM community. The present cross-sectional study examined associations among intraminority gay community stress, body image, and community connectedness in relation to disordered eating (i.e., binge eating, purging, restricting, excessive exercise, and muscle building).
methodsA total of 314 SMM (M
resultsGreater gay community stress was associated with higher levels of disordered eating even when controlling for body image variables, SMM community connectedness, race, relationship status, and perceived weight status. High appearance evaluation buffered the association between gay community stress and binge eating in the presence of high community connectedness. Low community connectedness amplified the effect of gay community stress and high appearance orientation on excessive exercise and muscle building.
conclusionsFindings suggest a sense of belongingness may mitigate the effects of gay community stress and body image concerns on disordered eating. Results highlight the role of intraminority stressors faced by SMM. Both intraminority stressors and group-level resilience factors (e.g., community connectedness) warrant further consideration in eating disorder research and clinical interventions with SMM.
