Renal complications in anorexia nervosa.
Review in Eating and weight disorders : EWD, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 30 papers, 2 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
purposeAnorexia nervosa is a malady with possible long-lasting physiological consequences. Among these, little is known about the renal effects, which remain rarely investigated.
methodsA literature review was conducted using electronic databases and manual search of relevant articles, discussing the renal impacts of anorexia nervosa.
resultsRenal failure has been described in malnourished patients, but the optimal non-invasive tool to assess the glomerular function rate in this population needs to be further evaluated. Significant disruptions in osmolar regulation, even in the absence of potomania, arise from multiple factors: hypothalamic dysfunction, intrinsic renal insufficiency, and use of psychotropic medications. Urinary urgency and nocturnal enuresis are frequent symptoms, rarely reported by patients. Among hydroelectrolytic disorders, hypokalemia is the most frequent, especially in settings of vomiting or medication misuse. Hyponatremia, hypomagnesemia, and hypophosphatemia may also be encountered. Urinary lithiases are relatively frequent as a consequence of dehydration, laxative use, or both.
conclusionInvestigation and follow-up of the renal function are essential in patients with an eating disorder, especially when the illness has been present for a long time.
