Maternal Eating Disorders and Eating Disorder Treatment Among Girls in the Growing Up Today Study.
Article in The Journal of adolescent health : official publication of the Society for Adolescent Medicine, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
purposeThe aim of the study was to assess whether girls with mothers who have had an eating disorder (ED) have greater odds of developing ED symptoms and whether girls with ED symptoms have greater odds of receiving ED treatment if their mothers have an ED history.
methodsData came from 3,649 females in the Growing Up Today Study. Data were collected via questionnaires that were mailed every 12-24 months from 1996 to 2013. Girls who reported on ED treatment in 2013 and whose mothers completed a questionnaire in 2004 about maternal and child EDs were included in main analyses. Generalized estimating equations were used.
resultsAmong complete cases, 28.3% of girls reported symptoms meeting criteria for an ED in at least 1 year and, of these, 12.4% reported receiving treatment. Girls with mothers with ED histories had nearly twice the odds of reporting symptoms of any ED (adjusted odds ratio: 1.89; 95% confidence interval: 1.38-2.60). Girls who reported symptoms meeting criteria for any ED had more than twice the odds of reporting treatment if their mother had an ED history (adjusted odds ratio: 2.23; 95% confidence interval: 1.25-3.99).
conclusionsGirls with mothers with an ED history had greater odds of both reporting ED symptoms and receiving ED treatment. Screening both girls and their mothers for current or previous disordered eating may be important for the prevention and detection of ED symptoms. More research is needed to examine reasons for the association between maternal ED history and ED treatment in girls.
