Purging disorder: recent advances and future challenges.
Review in Current opinion in psychiatry, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
purpose of reviewThe present review aims to help specialists remain up-to-date on research from the past 2 years on epidemiology, risk factors, biological correlates, treatment, and outcomes for purging disorder, a DSM-5 other specified feeding and eating disorder. RECENT
findingsPurging disorder affects 2.5-4.8% of adolescent females in population-based samples, but purging disorder remains relatively rare in treatment settings. Higher premorbid body mass index, body dissatisfaction, and dieting prospectively predict purging disorder onset. In studies of biological correlates, women with purging disorder demonstrated significantly greater postprandial increases in the satiety peptide, peptide tyrosine tyrosine, compared to women with bulimia nervosa and controls, and these differences predicted greater gastrointestinal distress in purging disorder. Less than half of those with purging disorder are free from an eating disorder at the end of treatment and at one or more years of follow-up, supporting the need for improved interventions. SUMMARY: Purging disorder may occupy a space that falls between anorexia and bulimia nervosa, making it 'not quite' anorexia and 'not quite' bulimia and difficult to reliably distinguish from each. Improved recognition and understanding of purging disorder requires more research specifically designed to test models of risk and maintenance factors to advance interventions for those who purge without binge eating.
