Appearance-ideal internalization and appearance-related physical activity avoidance among female university students in Sichuan, China: the role of social physique anxiety and body surveillance.

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
Physical activity and sport can become appearance-evaluative settings when the body is visible, compared, or judged. This cross-sectional study examined whether thin/low body fat internalization (TLB) and muscular/athletic internalization (MA) were associated with appearance-related avoidance of physical activity and sport (APAS) in a convenience sample of 1,687 female university students recruited from 16 universities in Sichuan Province, China. Social physique anxiety (SPA) and body surveillance (BS) were examined as parallel intermediate variables. The primary latent-variable model was estimated with robust maximum likelihood, allowed TLB and MA to covary, and allowed the residuals of SPA and BS to covary. Bias-corrected confidence intervals for indirect associations were obtained from 5,000 bootstrap resamples. The primary model yielded robust χ
