What was studied

This preregistered RCT examined the role of social comparison in appearance-related psychopathology, evaluating a smartphone-based intervention designed to target this mechanism.

Study limitations

The full text was not available for review; specific outcomes, sample size, effect sizes, and follow-up duration cannot be confirmed from the metadata alone.

Caveats

  • Age group and sex tags could not be determined from available information and were omitted accordingly.
  • Level of evidence (2) is assigned based on the RCT study design label in the title; this cannot be confirmed without access to the full text.
  • Only metadata (title, DOI, journal, publication date) was provided — no abstract or full text. Key details such as sample size, specific outcomes, effect sizes, population demographics, and intervention content could not be extracted. All structured fields reflect reasonable inference from the title alone and should be interpreted with caution.
