Characterizing eating disorder psychopathology and body image related constructs in treatment-seeking Black individuals with binge-eating spectrum disorders.
Article in Eating and weight disorders : EWD, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
purposeBlack individuals are at risk for developing eating disorders (EDs), while also facing an increased mental health burden as a marginalized group. However, few studies have examined whether treatment-seeking Black individuals with EDs present with different symptom profiles than White individuals. This study sought to characterize baseline ED symptomatology in Black participants with bulimia nervosa spectrum or binge eating disorder spectrum pathology compared to White participants in a treatment-seeking sample.
methodsThe sample consisted of 33 Black participants and 126 White participants who participated in a clinical trial at a mid-Atlantic University from 2015 to 2020. Data was analyzed using chi-square and independent samples t-tests.
resultsBlack participants were much less likely to engage in self-induced vomiting, despite being just as likely to meet criteria for a bulimia nervosa spectrum diagnosis and having similar rates of binge-eating and distress towards body image concerns. Black participants were more likely to experience obesity but maintained similar levels of body image concerns as White participants.
conclusionGiven the evidence that Black participants often are under-diagnosed, particularly with bulimia nervosa spectrum disorders, these results could suggest that weight biases and/or expectations that patients with bulimia nervosa spectrum disorders will primarily present with self-induced vomiting could be contributing to these diagnostic errors. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level I, randomized controlled trials.
