Connecting the dots between interoceptive sensibility, anxiety sensitivity, and eating disorder symptoms among individuals who engage in exercise for weight or shape purposes.
Article in Body image, 2026. 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
Individuals who engage in maladaptive exercise for weight/shape reasons are at high risk for eating disorders (EDs). Disrupted interoceptive sensibility and anxiety sensitivity (AS) are factors that are known to increase risk for EDs and may have particular relevance to exercise. The current study used network analysis to identify central symptoms and bridge symptoms among interoceptive sensibility, AS, and ED symptoms within individuals who exercise for weight/shape reasons. Undergraduate students from the United States who reported exercise for weight/shape reasons (n = 384, 68.5% White, 11.7% Hispanic/Latine) completed measures of AS, interoceptive sensibility, and ED symptoms. Network analyses were conducted to identify central and bridge symptoms. The symptoms with the highest strength worries about others noticing anxiety, notice when uncomfortable in body, dissatisfaction with shape, notice difference after peaceful experience, and strong desire to lose weight. Notice when uncomfortable in body was most strongly connected to strong desire to lose weight and vice versa. Notice when uncomfortable in body was most strongly connected to dissatisfaction with shape. Dissatisfaction with shape was most strongly connected to worries about others noticing anxiety. Scares me when heart beats rapidly was most strongly connected to can't get pain or discomfort out of my mind. This network analysis supports unique pathways connecting AS, interoceptive sensibility, and ED symptoms. Interventions for individuals who exercise for weight/shape reasons could target central symptoms through body image and interoceptive exposures.
