Posttraumatic stress disorder in anorexia nervosa.
Article in Psychosomatic medicine. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map.

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

Abstract
objectivesComorbidity among eating disorders, traumatic events, and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) has been reported in several studies. The main objectives of this study were to describe the nature of traumatic events experienced and to explore the relationship between PTSD and anorexia nervosa (AN) in a sample of women.
methodsEight hundred twenty-four participants from the National Institutes of Health-funded Genetics of Anorexia Nervosa Collaborative Study were assessed for eating disorders, PTSD, and personality characteristics.
resultsFrom a final sample of 753 women with AN, 13.7% (n = 103) met Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition, criteria for PTSD. The sample mean age was 29.5 (standard deviation = 11.1) years. In pairwise comparisons across AN subtypes, the odds of having a PTSD diagnosis were significantly lower in individuals with restricting AN than individuals with purging AN without binge eating (odds ratio = 0.49, 95% confidence interval = 0.30-0.80). Most participants with PTSD reported the first traumatic event before the onset of AN (64.1%, n = 66). The most common traumatic events reported by those with a PTSD diagnosis were sexually related traumas during childhood (40.8%) and during adulthood (35.0%).
conclusionsAN and PTSD do co-occur, and traumatic events tend to occur before the onset of AN. Clinically, these results underscore the importance of assessing trauma history and PTSD in individuals with AN and raise the question of whether specific modifications or augmentations to standard treatment for AN should be considered in a subgroup to address PTSD-related psychopathology.
