Emotion dysregulation and suicidality in eating disorders.
Article in The International journal of eating disorders, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map.

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.

Abstract
objectiveSuicidality in eating disorders (EDs) is high, and identification of therapeutically targetable traits associated with past, current, and future suicidality is of considerable clinical importance. We examined overall and ED subtype-specific associations among suicidal ideation, suicide attempts, and general and specific aspects of emotion dysregulation in a large sample of individuals with ED, at presentation for treatment and 1-year follow-up.
methodUsing registry data from 2,406 patients, scores on the Difficulties in Emotion Dysregulation Scale (DERS) at initial registration were examined as predictors of recent suicidal ideation and self-report lifetime suicide attempts. Associations were examined in the full sample and in each ED subtype. In 406 patients, initial DERS scores were examined as predictors of suicidality at 1-year follow-up.
resultsOverall DERS was associated with suicidal ideation and suicide attempts, even when adjusting for ED psychopathology and current depression. Perceived lack of emotion regulation strategies showed unique associations with suicidal ideation and suicide attempts, both in the full sample and in most ED subtypes. Initial DERS was also associated with follow-up suicidal ideation and suicide attempts, although this association did not remain when adjusting for past suicidality. DISCUSSION: Results suggest that emotion dysregulation may be a potential mechanism contributing to suicidality in EDs, beyond the effects of ED psychopathology and current depression. Although the prevalence of suicidality differs across ED subtypes, emotion dysregulation may represent a risk trait for future suicidality that applies transdiagnostically. Results support addressing emotion dysregulation in treatment in order to reduce suicidality.
