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.

Social media is an external influence thought to notably impact body image. There is limited research to date exploring whether the rise of social media 'Mumfluencers' - women who gain large social media followings by sharing their experiences of motherhood - positively or negatively influence postpartum body image and wellbeing. The current study explored the lived experience of 208 women up to 4 years postpartum through open-ended survey responses. Through reflexive thematic analysis, we identified three main themes: (i)
