Impact of binge eating disorder on functional impairment and work productivity in an adult community sample in the United States.
Article in International journal of clinical practice, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
aimThis study compared functioning and productivity in individuals meeting Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5) diagnostic criteria for binge eating disorder (BED) to those without BED.
methodsA sample of US adults from the National Health and Wellness Survey completed an Internet survey in October 2013. In addition to BED diagnostic criteria, the survey assessed functional impairment and productivity, respectively, using the Sheehan Disability Scale (SDS) and Work Productivity and Activity Impairment (WPAI) questionnaire. Differences between BED and non-BED respondents were assessed using multivariate models controlling for factors, including age, sex and comorbidities.
resultsOf 22 397 respondents, 344 were categorised as BED respondents and 20 437 as non-BED respondents. Compared with non-BED respondents, BED respondents exhibited significantly (all P<.001) greater functional impairment on the SDS, as measured by mean±SD total (14.04±9.46 vs 3.41±6.36), work/school (3.86±3.62 vs 1.01±2.21), social life/leisure activities (5.29±3.49 vs 1.22±2.33) and family life/home responsibilities (4.89±3.44 vs 1.18±2.26) scores. Adjusted odds ratios (95% CIs) indicated that BED respondents were more impaired than non-BED respondents on the work/school (4.24 [3.33-5.40]), social life/leisure activities (6.37 [4.97-8.15]) and family life/home responsibilities (5.76 [4.51-7.34]) domains of the SDS. On the WPAI, BED respondents reported significantly (all P<.001) higher percentages (mean±SD) of absenteeism (9.59%±19.97% vs 2.90%±12.95%), presenteeism (30.00%±31.64% vs 10.86%±20.07%), work productivity loss (33.19%±33.85% vs 12.60%±23.22%) and activity impairment (43.52%±34.36% vs 19.94%±27.22%) than non-BED respondents.
conclusionsThe findings suggest individuals with BED experience considerable impairment in functioning and work productivity compared with individuals without BED.
