An examination of negative urgency and other impulsigenic traits in purging disorder.
Article in Eating behaviors, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
There is extensive evidence for the clinical significance of Purging Disorder (PD), an eating disorder characterized by recurrent purging behavior (self-induced vomiting, laxative use, and diuretic use) in the absence of binge eating and low weight (Smith, Crowther, & Lavender, 2017). Research on the personality profile of PD is still developing but evidence supports an association with impulsivity (Brown, Haedt-Matt, & Keel, 2011). The personality underpinnings of impulsive behavior include several different impulsigenic traits. To investigate personality contributors to impulsive behavior among women with PD, we compared 31 women with PD to 57 women with bulimia nervosa (BN) and 31 healthy control women on four impulsigenic traits: negative urgency, lack of premeditation, lack of perseverance, and sensation seeking. Compared to healthy controls, women with PD reported significantly greater levels of negative urgency, but no significant differences on the other traits. Compared to BN, PD was associated with significantly lower levels of negative urgency, but no other significant differences. Compared with controls, women in the BN group had significantly higher scores on lack of premeditation and lack of perseverance, but no significant difference on sensation seeking. Findings indicate negative urgency is a potentially important personality trait for distinguishing those with PD.
