The relative importance of social anxiety facets on disordered eating in pediatric obesity.
Article in Eating and weight disorders : EWD, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
purposeChildren with obesity demonstrate increased risk for eating disorders and internalizing psychopathology. Research in adults indicates unique facets of social anxiety differentially relate to eating pathology. These associations remain understudied in pediatric samples. The current study evaluated associations between social anxiety and disordered eating, and tested the relative importance of distinct social anxiety constructs-fear of negative evaluation, social anxiety in general situations, and social anxiety in new situations-for disordered eating in weight-loss treatment-seeking youth with obesity.

resultsSocial anxiety subscales did not correlate with Dieting scores. Dominance analyses indicated Fear of Negative Evaluation (FNE) evinced complete dominance, thus, emerging as the most important predictor relative to other social anxiety components for Body/Weight Concern and Food Preoccupation. General dominance weights for FNE accounted for more than twice the shared and unique variance, relative to other independent variables within the Body/Weight Concern and Food Preoccupation models, respectively.
conclusionsUnique facets of social anxiety differentially relate to disordered eating in youth with obesity. Findings suggest nuanced assessment of anxiety constructs, such as FNE, in pediatric obesity treatment settings may aid in identifying youth at risk for disordered eating attitudes and behaviors. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level V, cross-sectional descriptive study.
