Body image disturbance, compensatory exercise, and exercise avoidance: cross-sectional conditional process associations in university students.
Article in Frontiers in psychology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Body image disturbance is known to be associated with physical activity, yet the pathways linking them remain unclear. Drawing on self-regulation, self-conscious emotion and social cognitive theories, this study examines those pathways within a moderated dual-path model. In this cross-sectional study based on a convenience sample, data from 336 Chinese university students were collected via an online questionnaire and analyzed using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA; AMOS 24.0) for measurement validation and the PROCESS macro (Model 8; v4.1) for moderated mediation analysis with bootstrap confidence intervals (SPSS 27.0). The results showed that body image disturbance was positively associated with both compensatory exercise behavior and exercise avoidance behavior, reflecting a dual pattern of promotion and inhibition. Goal-oriented motivation partially accounted for the association between body image disturbance and compensatory exercise behavior,
