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

Through a survey on celebrity worship, binge eating, desire for fame and self-control, we recruited a sample of 748 Chinese adolescents (aged 11-17) to explore the gendered mechanisms linking celebrity worship to binge eating through the chain mediation of desire for fame and self-control. The results revealed a significant mediating role of self-control in the relationship between celebrity worship and binge eating behaviors in both genders. Moreover, this effect was more pronounced in girls than in boys. Additionally, among boys, higher levels of celebrity worship was associated with greater desire for fame, which was in turn associated with lower self-control and higher levels of binge eating. This study highlights the mediating roles of desire for fame and self-control in the relationship between celebrity worship and binge eating, as well as the gender differences.
