Sex/gender-specific association between emotion regulation strategies and eating disorders symptoms: a systematic review.
Review in Journal of eating disorders, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
objectiveEmotion regulation strategies (ERS) play a role in the development and maintenance of eating disorder (ED) symptoms. Findings on their associations with sex/gender and sex/gender differences in ERS usage in terms of ED symptoms remain unclear. This review aims to summarize the current state of knowledge on the associations between ERS and ED symptoms in both men and women, and the role of sex/gender differences in these associations.
methodsAPA PsycInfo, APA PsycArticles, Academic Search Ultimate, Health Source: Nursing/Academic Edition, MasterFILE Premier, MEDLINE databases for studies published up to September 26, 2024 were reviewed. Included studies quantitatively assessed at least one ERS and ED symptoms and involved adult male and female participants. Excluded were animal studies, non-original research, studies involving only children or adolescents, qualitative studies, and studies that measured emotion regulation only as a general construct. Risk of bias was assessed. After screening 5,394 articles (from an initial 9,627), 16 studies were included.
resultsFindings from 16 studies (10,974 participants) suggest that both sex/gender and ERS are predictors of ED symptoms. However, data on sex/gender differences in the use of ERS are insufficient to draw consistent conclusions. DISCUSSION: The findings highlight the need for future research involving sex/gender -balanced samples. Further studies should include comparative analyses and explore the potential mediating and moderating roles of both ERS and sex/gender in the development of ED symptoms.
