Boosting self-esteem and body image satisfaction in women affected by FGM: a positive psychology approach.
Article in BMC psychology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposeThis study aimed to assess the effectiveness of positive thinking group training on enhancing self-esteem and body image satisfaction among women living with female genital mutilation (FGM) in Javanrood.
methodA quasi-experimental design with pre-test and post-test control groups was employed. The study population included all women with FGM in Javanrood during the 2023–2024 period. A sample of 30 women was selected through convenience sampling and randomly assigned to experimental (n = 15) and control (n = 15) groups. The intervention consisted of 8 sessions, each lasting approximately 90 min, conducted over a period of four weeks. Data were collected using the Coopersmith Self-Esteem Inventory and Body Image Satisfaction Scale.
resultsMultivariate analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) revealed that positive thinking training significantly improved self-esteem and body image satisfaction among women with FGM in the experimental group compared to the control group.
conclusionThe results demonstrated that positive psychology training significantly improved self-esteem and body image satisfaction in women affected by FGM. These findings support the integration of such interventions into culturally sensitive mental health programs.
