Treatment outcomes of psychotherapy for binge-eating disorder in a randomized controlled trial: Examining the roles of childhood abuse and post-traumatic stress disorder.

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 examine childhood abuse and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) as predictors and moderators of binge-eating disorder (BED) treatment outcomes in a randomized controlled trial comparing Integrative Cognitive-Affective Therapy with cognitive-behavioural therapy administered using guided self-help.
methodIn 112 adults with BED, childhood abuse was defined as any moderate/severe abuse as assessed by the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire, lifetime PTSD was assessed via the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV, and outcomes were assessed via the Eating Disorder Examination (EDE). Covariate-adjusted regression models predicting binge-eating frequency and EDE global scores at end of treatment and 6-month follow-up were conducted.
resultsLifetime PTSD predicted greater binge-eating frequency at end of treatment (B = 1.32, p = 0.009) and childhood abuse predicted greater binge-eating frequency at follow-up (B = 1.00, p = 0.001). Lifetime PTSD moderated the association between childhood abuse and binge-eating frequency at follow-up (B = 2.98, p = 0.009), such that childhood abuse predicted greater binge-eating frequency among participants with a history of PTSD (B = 3.30, p = 0.001) but not among those without a PTSD history (B = 0.31, p = 0.42). No associations with EDE global scores or interactions with treatment group were observed.
conclusionsResults suggest that a traumatic event history may hinder treatment success and that PTSD may be more influential than the trauma exposure itself.
