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
objectiveTo compare the global health status, frequency of somatic and psychological problems, and alcohol use in adulthood among women hospitalized in adolescence for severe anorexia nervosa (AN), with a matched control sample from the general population.
methodWomen (n = 86) who had been hospitalized for AN 9.31 ± 1.82 years previously were compared with 258 controls matched for gender, age, and socio-professional category. Data were retrieved from a French survey on health and social insurance coverage, and was mainly collected by self-report, except for the assessment of current eating disorders for those previously hospitalized for AN (assessed with the MINI).
resultsThe women who had been hospitalized for AN reported significantly poorer current health status compared to controls (OR 2.9, 95% CI 1.5-5.79). According to the MINI, 13 women previously hospitalized with severe AN still presented an eating disorder (ED). Women with past AN reported more frequent acute throat infections (OR 4.9, 95% CI 1.81-13.51), gastralgia (OR 3.6, 95% CI 1.9-6.83), gastro-oesophageal reflux (OR 5.279, 95%CI 2.11-13.22), excess blood cholesterol or triglyceride levels (OR 2.55, 95% CI 1.03-6.33), anxiety (OR 8.7, 95% CI 3.48-21.8) and depression (OR 5.02 (2.8-9.01). These differences remained significant and of the same order of magnitude in sensitivity analyses among subjects with previous AN but without current ED, except for perceived health status and excess cholesterol and triglyceride levels. DISCUSSION: Women who had been hospitalized for severe AN reported more symptoms 10 years after treatment, implies psychological and somatic follow-up in the long term. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level III, case-control analytic study.
