1 · What the graph read from 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.

Abstract

purposeDespite the emergence of a growing qualitative literature about the personal recovery process in mental disorders, this topic remains little understood in anorexia nervosa (AN), especially severe AN during adolescence. This cases series is a first step that aims to understand recovery after severe AN among adolescents in France, from a first-person perspective.

methodsThis cases series applied the interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) method to data collected in semi-structured face-to-face interviews about the recovery process of five young women who had been hospitalized with severe AN 10 years earlier during adolescence.

resultsA model of recovery in four stages (corseted, vulnerable, plastic, and playful) crossing seven dimensions (struggle and path of initiation; work on oneself; self-determination and help; body; family; connectedness; and timeline) emerged from the analysis. New features of the AN personal recovery process were characterized: bodily well-being and pleasure of body; stigmatization; the role of the group; relation to time; and importance of narratives. We suggest a new shape to model the AN recovery process, one that suggests several tipping points. Recruitment must now be widened to different AN contexts.

conclusionsThe personal recovery paradigm may provide a new approach to care, complementary to medical paradigm. REGISTRATION OF CLINICAL TRIAL: No. NCT03712384. Our study was purely observational, without assignment of medical intervention. As a consequence, this clinical trial was registered retrospectively. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level V, descriptive study.
