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
Background: Body dysmorphic concerns are associated with unhealthy eating attitudes, but the role of focused eating in this relationship remains unclear. Given the rising prevalence of body image issues among young dietitians, it is essential to explore psychological factors that may help reduce disordered eating behaviors. This study aims to examine the moderating effect of focused eating on the association between body dysmorphic concerns and inappropriate eating attitudes among Lebanese dietitians. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 215 Lebanese dietitians using a self-administered questionnaire. The questionnaire included the Arabic validated versions of the Mindful-Eating Behaviors Scale (MEBS), the Dysmorphic Concerns Questionnaire (DCQ), and the Eating Attitudes Test (EAT-7). Moderation analysis was performed using the PROCESS MACRO v3.4 in SPSS, with adjustments for potential confounders such as body mass index, marital status, and employment status. Results: The findings revealed that focused eating moderated the relationship between body dysmorphic concerns and inappropriate eating attitudes ( Conclusion: These findings suggest that, within this sample of predominantly female young Lebanese dietitians, focused eating was associated with a weaker relationship between body dysmorphic concerns and inappropriate eating attitudes. Given the sampling approach and cross-sectional design, these findings should be interpreted cautiously and cannot be generalized to all dietitians. Further longitudinal and interventional studies are needed before translating these findings into broader educational or healthcare initiatives.
