Percent body fat is a risk factor for relapse in anorexia nervosa: a replication study.
Trial report in The International journal of eating disorders, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 papers, 3 of them syntheses that pooled it.
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
objectiveWe aimed to replicate and extend our previous findings of an association between percent body fat in recently weight-restored patients with Anorexia Nervosa (AN) and clinical outcome in the year following treatment.
methodTwenty-two hospitalized, weight-restored women with AN underwent whole body MRI to determine percent adipose tissue. Following hospital discharge, patients were contacted regularly, and at the end of the year, clinical outcome was determined using modified Morgan-Russell (MR) criteria: full, good, fair or poor. Identical to our previous study, outcome was dichotomized into "full, good or fair" and "poor" groups.
resultsData from 21 subjects were available for analysis. Percent body fat was significantly lower in the poor outcome group (22% ± 5%) compared to the "full, good or fair" outcome group (27 % ± 4%)(p < 0.035). To further examine the relationship, we combined data from the current study with data from the 26 subjects on whom we had previously reported. Univariate analysis of variance (ANOVA) demonstrated a significant difference in percent adipose tissue across the four MR outcome groups (F = 3.416, df = 3, p<0.03). DISCUSSION: Lower percent adipose tissue after short-term weight normalization is associated with poor clinical outcome in the year following inpatient treatment. These findings may be important in the assessment of risk for relapse in patients with AN.
