Emotion Regulation as a Predictor of Body Dissatisfaction in Individuals With Eating Disorders.

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
objectiveBody dissatisfaction (BD) plays a key role in the development and maintenance of eating disorders (EDs). BD might be influenced by emotion regulation. The maladaptive emotion regulation strategy suppression, aimed at inhibiting emotional responses, may increase BD by intensifying negative body-related affect. Adaptive strategies like cognitive reappraisal, involving the reinterpretation of emotional situations, may reduce BD by reshaping emotional responses to body-related cues. This study explored whether these strategies predicted BD at two follow-up waves, one after 7-11 months and the second after 19-23 months, and whether ED status (current or recovered) moderated these effects.
methodData were drawn from three consecutive waves (T0), (T1), and (T2) of the longitudinal naturalistic Netherlands Eating disorder Registry (NER; n = 364), including individuals with current EDs (n = 276) and recovered individuals (n = 84). Two linear mixed-effects models examined the effects of suppression and reappraisal on BD, with ED status as a moderator.
resultsHigher suppression levels were significantly associated with greater BD in individuals with EDs compared to recovered individuals at T0 (B = 3.08, p < 0.001). Neither reappraisal nor suppression predicted BD over time, nor did ED status moderate this relationship (reappraisal: p = 0.970 and p = 0.125, suppression: p = 0.884 and p = 0.582). Random effects indicated considerable individual variability in BD. DISCUSSION: The study found no evidence that suppression or cognitive reappraisal predicted longitudinal changes in BD. Only an association between suppression and BD was found, suggesting that suppression and BD do appear to co-occur in EDs and may reinforce each other.
