Factors associated with weight gain in anorexia nervosa inpatients.
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 6 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
objectiveNutrition restoration in inpatients with anorexia nervosa (AN) is a core element in treatment, enabling recovery of cognitive functions essential for psychological care. This study aims to identify factors associated with inpatient weight gain.
methodsMedical records from 107 inpatients aged 13-55 years with AN, hospitalized for more than 7 days at a specialized unit, were examined in a retrospective study. Weight evolution graphs were created for each patient and graded independently as optimal, moderate, and inadequate weight gain after 2 weeks and increasing, flat or decreasing weight in the first 2 weeks by expert clinicians. Driven by explicit hypotheses, bivariable analyses were carried out to detect relevant factors associated with weight gain during and after the first 2 weeks of admission.
resultsInitial weight gain in the first 2 weeks of hospitalization and the introduction of a protocol harmonizing treatment procedures around rapid refeeding were strong factors associated with optimal weight gain after 2 weeks of hospitalization, whereas prior hospitalization in a psychiatric unit, diagnosis with binge-eating/purging subtype and age over 18 years were significantly associated with inadequate weight gain (p < 0.001-0.05).
conclusionTo promote weight gain during hospitalization, clinicians should consider the following therapeutic measures: rapid refeeding strategies, renutrition protocols, and controlling purging behaviors. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level III, retrospective cohort study.
