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

objectiveEmerging adulthood often involves a greater degree of disordered eating behaviors, especially among women. In this psychosocial context, extant evidence suggests that psychological distress is a major contributing factor to disordered eating behaviors. The present cross-sectional study examined whether psychological distress was positively associated with disordered eating behavior in a sample of emerging adult women, and whether difficulty in emotion regulation, self-concealment, or both together, at least partially explained this association.

methodParticipants were 723 emerging adult women aged 18 to 25 years old (

resultsWe found that psychological distress was positively associated with disordered eating behaviors. We also found that both difficulty in emotion regulation and self-concealment partially accounted for the positive association between psychological distress and disordered eating behavior. DISCUSSION: Future research should examine the conceptual and applied implications of these findings further.
