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

objectiveRestrained eating has been recognized as a maladaptive behavior linked to various adverse health outcomes, such as eating disorders and anxiety, which can significantly impact both physical and mental well-being. However, little is known about how perceived sociocultural pressures correlate with restrained eating. Therefore, based on the Tripartite Influence Model and Objectification Theory, we investigated the association between perceived sociocultural pressure and restrained eating as well as the potential mediating role of self-objectification and body-esteem in this association.

methodParticipants were 1774 students aged 16-33 years (M

resultsThe results indicated that after controlling for body mass index and sex, perceived sociocultural pressure was positively correlated with restrained eating. Self-objectification and body-esteem were serial mediators of the association between perceived sociocultural pressure and restrained eating. DISCUSSION: These correlational results suggest that body-esteem may serve as a promising intervention target for programs designed to prevent and reduce restrained eating. In addition, these correlational findings shed light on the prevention and intervention of restrained eating and provide a new theoretical perspective on mental health. In addition, implications and directions for future research were also discussed.
