Sex differences in beliefs about bulimia nervosa.
Article in Social psychiatry and psychiatric epidemiology, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
objectiveThis study aimed to examine sex differences in young people's beliefs about the causes and characteristics of, as well as treatment for, bulimia nervosa.
methodParticipants (100 male, 102 female) completed a four part questionnaire adapted from other studies.
resultsThere were sex differences on about a third of the attitude statements particularly about the cure for bulimia nervosa. A factor analysis of each section revealed six to seven interpretable factors per issue. An analysis of the factor scores showed few significant sex differences but most for the characteristics displayed by bulimics. Factors from the different sections of the questionnaire were logically related. DISCUSSION: There were some sex differences on beliefs about key cognitive and physical characteristics of the disorder as well as the importance of specialist interventions for the disorder. Females more than males endorsed the importance of specialist professional help over self-help interventions. Overall this sample seemed well informed about bulimia nervosa.
