Do Weight Suppression and Body Mass Index Predict Daily Body Image and Eating Urges in Non-Clinical Adults?

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
introductionThe current study used ecological momentary assessment (EMA) to examine whether body mass index (BMI) and weight suppression (highest minus current weight) predicted momentary body dissatisfaction and disordered eating urges, including dietary restriction, excessive exercise, binge eating, and unhealthy eating, and whether trait eating disorder (ED) symptoms moderated these associations.
methodData were collected from 686 adults (75% female), comprising community participants and undergraduate students, through six daily EMA surveys over seven days (42 possible assessments).
resultsMultilevel models showed that lower BMI (p = 0.005) and greater weight suppression (p = 0.004) predicted higher average state body dissatisfaction, while higher BMI (p < 0.001) and greater weight suppression (p = 0.039) predicted stronger urges for unhealthy eating. DISCUSSION: ED symptomatology moderated the relationship between BMI and dietary restraint, such that BMI positively predicted restraint urges at low levels of ED symptoms but negatively predicted them at high levels. No other moderating effects of ED symptomatology were observed for BMI or weight suppression on the remaining state-based outcomes. Overall, both weight-based severity indicators (BMI and weight suppression) demonstrated limited utility for indexing ED-related state-based variables in a female non-clinical sample. Future studies should examine additional weight-related severity indicators across both non-clinical and clinical ED samples.
