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

Appearance-related safety behaviors (ARSBs) are maladaptive behavioral strategies employed to manage a perceived flaw in physical appearance or avoid judgment from others due to appearance. While a growing body of research have examined ARSBs using between-person designs, there is a lack of evidence examining how ARSBs may be associated with appearance concerns and social anxiety within-person. The present study preliminarily examined the validity of a daily measure of ARSBs and how daily ARSBs may be associated with same-day appearance concerns and social anxiety. Using a daily-diary approach, young undergraduate adults (
