ArticleEating and weight disorders : EWD2020
A characterization of binge planning behavior in individuals with binge-spectrum eating disorders.
Article in Eating and weight disorders : EWD, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
objectiveAlthough binge eating is associated with impulsivity, clinical reports suggest that some individuals with bulimia nervosa (BN) and binge eating disorder (BED) plan binge episodes in advance. This study is the first to examine: (1) the frequency of binge planning (BP; defined as both advanced knowledge that a binge episode will occur and taking steps to facilitate the binge episode); (2) associations of BP with ED severity, and (3) whether BP serves a negative reinforcement function.
methodPatients with BN- and BED-spectrum eating disorders (EDs; n = 111) were administered semi-structured interview questions regarding BP.
resultsResults indicate that a substantial minority of patients (27.8%) engage in BP. BP was significantly more common in BN versus BED-spectrum EDs (38.3% versus 20.6%, p = 0.04) and in those who did versus did not endorse self-induced vomiting (50.0% versus 21.3%, p < 0.01). Frequency of BP was positively associated with overall ED psychopathology (r = 0.19, p < 0.05). Exploratory analyses indicated that approximately two-thirds (67.7%) reported that BP served to distract from unpleasant experiences. DISCUSSION: BP is present for a significant subset of patients and may play a critical role in the reinforcement cycles of binge eating. Future research should further elucidate the function of BP to inform treatment development.
