Childhood abuse and disordered eating behaviors in female college students: how does depression and anxiety come from?
Article in Eating and weight disorders : EWD, 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
purposeThis study examines the relationship among childhood abuse, disordered eating behaviors, depression, and anxiety in female college students. It also investigates the mediating role of disordered eating in the relationship between childhood abuse and depression, as well as anxiety.
methods832 female college students were evaluated with the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), Eating Disorder Inventory (EDI) and Personal Report of Childhood Abuse (PRCA).
resultsDepression and anxiety was significantly positively correlated with childhood abuse, physical abuse, emotional abuse, sexual abuse and neglect, and was significantly positively correlated with disordered eating. Disordered eating was significantly positively correlated with childhood maltreatment, physical maltreatment, emotional maltreatment and neglect. Disordered eating mediated the relationship between childhood abuse and depression, as well as between childhood abuse and anxiety.
conclusionChildhood abuse is positively associated with depression and anxiety, both directly and indirectly through the mediating effect of disordered eating. This provides a new perspective for interventions aimed at alleviating the symptoms of depression and anxiety in individuals with a history of childhood abuse.
