Affect, interoception, and disordered and intuitive eating behaviors: Examining momentary mediational associations among women with eating disorder pathology.

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
objectiveAffect and interoception (the ability to sense/connect with bodily sensations) are transdiagnostic self-regulatory factors that promote maladaptive eating behaviors at the between-person level (via cross-sectional research). However, no research has examined the mechanistic role of interoception dimensions in associations between affect, and disordered and intuitive eating behaviors (DEBs, IEBs) at the within-person level via ecological momentary assessment (EMA).
methodThe present study addressed this research gap by examining whether: (1) momentary interoception dimensions ("not distracting," "self-regulation," "body listening and trust") differentially mediated momentary associations between negative and positive affect (predictors), and DEBs (dietary restriction, overeating, loss of control eating) and IEBs ("eating for physical versus emotional reasons," "reliance on hunger and satiety cues," "unconditional permission to eat," "body-food choice congruence") outcomes; (2) these associations varied across affect, interoception, and eating behavior types. Women (N = 150) with eating disorder pathology (M
resultsMultilevel structural equation models showed that greater momentary negative affect was associated with more distracting from uncomfortable/painful bodily sensations at subsequent assessments (i.e., less "not distracting" interoception) and, in turn, less "eating for physical versus emotional reasons" IEB later that day. Greater momentary positive affect was associated with greater subsequent "body listening and trust" interoception and, subsequently, greater "reliance on hunger and satiety cues" IEB. No momentary indirect effects linking affect, interoception, and DEBs were significant.
conclusionsThese results may be leveraged to optimize eating disorders research and novel real-time interventions.
