Morning Momentary Appearance Dissatisfaction Predicts Daily Increases in Momentary Appearance-Focused Self-Concept Among Female University Students: An Experience Sampling Study.

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
objectiveTheory and research indicate that appearance-focused self-concept-the tendency to base one's self-worth and self-definition heavily on physical appearance-plays a key role in the development and maintenance of disordered eating in daily life. Herein, we examined whether momentary appearance dissatisfaction at the start of the day predicts steeper within-day increases in momentary appearance-focused self-concept.
methodFemale undergraduate students (N = 61; M
resultsAppearance-focused self-concept increased linearly from 9 a.m. to 3 PM (b = 0.05, z = 3.64, p < 0.001). Greater within-day increases in appearance-focused self-concept were associated with higher daily dietary restraint (b = 2.29, z = 3.22, p = 0.001). Appearance dissatisfaction-satisfaction at 9 a.m. moderated the trajectory (b = -0.03, z = -2.27, p = 0.02): appearance-focused self-concept increased on days when participants felt more appearance-dissatisfied at 9 a.m. (b = 0.08, z = 3.52, p < 0.001) but remained stable on days when they felt more appearance-satisfied at 9 a.m. (b = 0.02, z = 1.20, p = 0.23). DISCUSSION: Findings suggest that morning-appearance dissatisfaction may set in motion increases in appearance-focused self-concept during the day. Findings highlight the importance of targeting appearance dissatisfaction in the morning to prevent the daily buildup of appearance concerns linked to disordered eating.
