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.

Abstract

purposeThis study aimed to examine the relationship and differences between healthy eating, orthorexia nervosa tendencies and early maladaptive schemas.

methodsA cross-sectional online survey was conducted on a sample of Hungarian adults. One thousand twelve participants completed measures assessing healthy orthorexia, orthorexia nervosa tendencies, perceived stress, and early maladaptive schemas. Structural equation modeling was used to determine the relationships among the variables.

resultsResults indicated significant associations between orthorexia nervosa tendencies and specific early maladaptive schemas, particularly unrelenting standards and defectiveness/shame schemas. Additionally, age, perceived stress, and BMI were found to be associated with orthorexia nervosa tendencies and healthy orthorexia.

conclusionsThe findings suggest that early maladaptive schemas, especially those related to perfectionism and low self-esteem, may contribute to the development and persistence of high orthorexia nervosa tendencies. More research is necessary to examine these relationships and their potential therapeutic implications. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level V, descriptive cross-sectional study.
