Concordance between youth and caregiver report of eating disorder psychopathology: Development and psychometric properties of the Eating Disorder-15 for Parents/Caregivers (ED-15-P).
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. Cited by 12 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
objectiveOutcome measurement in youth with eating disorders relies heavily on self-report, which is problematic in a population that may deny or minimize symptoms. Caregiver-report measures are lacking. This study examined the psychometric and clinical properties of a newly-developed measure designed to assess short-term change in eating disorder symptomatology as observed by caregivers-the Eating Disorder-15 for Parents/Caregivers (ED-15-P).
methodAt initial presentation to an outpatient eating disorders assessment, 206 families (primary caregiver and their child up to 18 years old) completed psychological measures.
resultsThe ED-15-P demonstrated excellent reliability, preliminary evidence of discriminant and concurrent validity, and good sensitivity to change early in treatment (first 8 weeks). Agreement between primary caregivers and children on eating disorder psychopathology was moderate, while agreement between pairs of caregivers was relatively strong. Level of agreement varied across behaviors and informants, with poorer caregiver-child agreement on dieting and driven exercise. DISCUSSION: Agreement was stronger within caregiver pairs than caregiver-child pairs, indicating that caregivers and their children have related but unique perspectives on eating disorder symptoms, highlighting the importance of multi-informant assessment. The ED-15-P complements a parallel youth report measure to more comprehensively assess eating disorder psychopathology, with high utility for measuring change over time.
