Intrasexual competition predicts willingness to engage in risky weight loss behaviors: sex differences and similarities.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Intrasexual Competitiveness has been theorized to be related to the development of anorexia nervosa (AN) and bulimia nervosa (BN) in women. A university sample was used to test the relationship between gender and intrasexual competition (ISC) on the willingness to engage in risky weight-loss behaviors symptomatic of AN or BN. A gender-neutral scale of intrasexual competition was created, allowing for a direct comparison of male and female respondents. The results revealed that greater intrasexual competitiveness in women (but not men) was related to an increased self-reported willingness to engage in risky dieting behaviors (e.g., going on a crash diet, fasting, and taking diet pills). Women and individuals higher in ISC expressed a greater willingness to vomit and/or use laxatives. These findings support the notion that ISC may in part contribute to the development of AN and BN in women.
