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
Despite the growing popularity of body positivity and body neutrality on social media, their scientific differentiation remains unclear. Body positivity involves acceptance and a positive attitude toward one's body regardless of societal ideals, whereas body neutrality emphasizes a non-judgmental focus on body functionality. This study aimed to examine the relationships between body positivity and body neutrality, self-esteem, body image, mindfulness, and gratitude. A total of 201 adults (56.7% women; M = 28.11; SD = 11.84) completed the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, Body Evaluation Scale, Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire: Short-Form, Gratitude Questionnaire and a survey measuring the self-reported level of body positivity and body neutrality. Body positivity and body neutrality were positively correlated with all psychological variables (p < 0.05). Body positivity was predicted by self-esteem and body image (R² = 0.41), whereas body neutrality was predicted by self-esteem, gratitude, and mindfulness (R² = 0.30). The high and low groups differed significantly in all variables except for the Observing facet of mindfulness. The value of the shared variance coefficient between body positivity and neutrality (ρ² = 0.23) indicated the presence of distinct constructs. The findings support the distinctiveness of body positivity and body neutrality, and highlight their relevance to psychological well-being.
