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

Objective: To analyze the relationship between internalization of appearance ideals, sociocultural pressures, and body dissatisfaction among Brazilian adults. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil, between January and December 2023. Using convenience sampling, data were collected from 290 adults (18-64 years old; median age = 24.0, IQR25 = 21.0, and IQR75 = 34.0; 69.3 % female) through an online self-report questionnaire. The dependent variables included socioeconomic, demographic, and anthropometric data. Sociocultural pressures and the internalization of appearance ideals were measured using the SATAQ-4, with body dissatisfaction as the independent variable. Statistical analyses involved non-parametric tests (Kolmogorov-Smirnov, Mann-Whitney U, Kruskal-Wallis, Dunn's post hoc tests) and Spearman's correlation, with a significance level set at Results: Body dissatisfaction was 84.5 % prevalent. Dissatisfaction related to excess weight was associated with pressure from family ( Conclusions: The study highlights the role of sociocultural pressures and appearance ideals in body dissatisfaction, supporting the Tripartite Influence Model.
