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
This study aimed to examine associations between obsessive personality traits (perfectionism, desire for control, and cognitive flexibility) and eating-related symptomatology in a non-clinical sample of young adults. The objective was to explore which subdimensions were most strongly associated with eating attitudes. A cross-sectional study was conducted with 890 students aged 18-25 years, who completed validated self-report measures: the Eating Attitudes Test (EAT-26) (Garner and Garfinkel in Psychol Med 9(2):273-279, 1979), the Frost Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale (FMPS) (Frost et al. in Cognit Ther Res 14(5):449-468, 1990), the Desirability of Control Scale (Burger and Cooper in Motiv Emot 3(4):381-393, 1979), and the Personalised Psychological Flexibility Index (PPFI) (Kashdan et al. in Psychol Assess 32(9):829-850, 2020). Regression analyses were conducted controlling for sex and age. The results indicated statistically significant but modest associations between several subdimensions of perfectionism, cognitive flexibility, desire for control, and eating-related symptomatology. These findings expand the previous evidence on obsessive personality traits in relation to eating behaviours and should be interpreted as exploratory and correlational in nature.Level of evidence: 2 (observational, cross-sectional study).
