Micronutrients Deficiencies in 374 Severely Malnourished Anorexia Nervosa Inpatients.

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
introductionAnorexia nervosa (AN) is a complex psychiatric disorder, which can lead to specific somatic complications. Undernutrition is a major diagnostic criteria of AN and it can be associated with several micronutrients deficiencies.
objectivesThis study aimed to determinate the prevalence of micronutrients deficiencies and to compare the differences between the two subtypes of AN (restricting type (AN-R) and binge-eating/purging type (AN-BP)).
methodsWe report a large retrospective, monocentric study of patients that were hospitalized in a highly specialized AN inpatient unit between January 2011 and August 2017 for severe malnutrition treatment in the context of anorexia nervosa.
resultsThree hundred and seventy-four patients were included, at inclusion, with a mean Body Mass Index (BMI) of 12.5 ± 1.7 kg/m². Zinc had the highest deficiency prevalence 64.3%, followed by vitamin D (54.2%), copper (37.1%), selenium (20.5%), vitamin B1 (15%), vitamin B12 (4.7%), and vitamin B9 (8.9%). Patients with AN-BP type had longer disease duration history, were older, and had a lower left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) (
conclusionSeverely malnourished AN patients have many micronutrient deficiencies. Micronutrients status must be monitored and supplemented to prevent deficiency related complications and to improve nutritional status. Prospective studies are needed to explore the symptoms and consequences of each deficiency, which can aggravate the prognosis during recovery.
