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: The college years represent a formative period for body image development in young women, and female college students (FCS) have an elevated risk of disordered eating behaviors, including emotional eating. Objective: This cross-sectional study explores the relationship between self-objectification and emotional eating in FCS and examines the mediating role of social comparison and body satisfaction. Methods: A total of 820 FCS from two comprehensive universities in Yunnan, China, were enrolled. Data were collected in June 2023 using self-report scales: the Trait Self-Objectification Questionnaire, Emotional Eating Subscale of the Dutch Eating Behavior Questionnaire, Physical Appearance Comparison Scale, and Body Image States Scale. Correlation and mediation analyses were conducted. Results: Self-objectification, emotional eating, and social comparison exhibit significant positive correlations with each other ( Conclusion: Self-objectification can indirectly affect emotional eating through social comparison and body satisfaction.
