Weight restoration in atypical anorexia nervosa: A clinical conundrum.
Article in The International journal of eating disorders, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
The determination of the treatment goal weight for adolescents with a restrictive eating disorder (ED) and a prior history of obesity, such as in atypical anorexia nervosa (AAN), represents an ongoing challenge for clinicians. This determination is particularly complex given competing interests of physical recovery from significant weight loss, mental recovery from ED psychopathology, and the medical comorbidities associated with obesity. We report the case of a 15-year old female with a history of obesity and irregular periods who presented with significant weight loss and absence of menses for 3 months. She was hospitalized for severe malnutrition and bradycardia, initiated family based treatment, and regained periods. However, her vital sign instability and eating disorder cognitions did not resolve until she reached a weight at which point her periods again ceased due to polycystic ovary syndrome. This case highlights the need for regular monitoring during weight recovery and the clinical challenge of determining the treatment goal weight in adolescents with EDs and prior obesity.
