1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

The focus of this clinical practice review is to provide clinicians a framework for incorporating technology into the treatment of eating disorders (EDs). We detailed studies that were published within the past 11 years (2002-2012) and that included at least 10 participants. Our primary aims were to describe how technology has been used to enhance the delivery of ED treatment as well as report the effectiveness of these technology-based interventions. We also provided clinical applications and considerations for clinicians who wish to use technology within their own practice. We found that a range of technologies (e.g., televideo, e-mail, CD-ROM, Internet, text message) have been used as a means to either deliver or enhance treatment at various levels of care (e.g., therapy, guided self-help, treatment adjunct). The majority of the studies were based on cognitive-behavioral principles and included samples diagnosed with bulimia nervosa (BN), binge eating disorder (BED), or subclinical levels of BN or BED. Most researchers reported positive results, with a few caveats such as technology-based interventions may not be optimal for individuals with more severe pathology, and some individuals described wanting more personal interaction. The overarching finding was that technology may be successfully integrated within ED treatment and may offer new ways to extend ED interventions to individuals who may not otherwise have access to specialty ED care.
