Feasibility and acceptability of home treatment as an add-on to family based therapy for adolescents with anorexia nervosa. A case series.
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 10 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
objectiveThis study examines the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effect sizes on outcome measures of home treatment (HT) as an add-on to family-based therapy (FBT) in adolescents with anorexia nervosa (AN). The HT intervention is delivered by specialized nurses and aims at supporting patients and parents to re-establish family meals in the home environment.
methodForty-five (43 female, 2 male) adolescents meeting ICD 10 criteria for anorexia nervosa or atypical anorexia nervosa received FBT augmented with HT over 12 weeks. Eating disorder (ED) diagnosis, psychopathology and severity of clinical symptoms were assessed using the Eating Disorder Examination (EDE) interview, the Eating Disorders Inventory (EDI-2) at baseline (BL) and after 3-months
resultsAll participants and parents were retained and found HT acceptable. At the end of Treatment (EOT) participants showed a significant early weight gain, a reduction in the AN psychopathology assessed with the EDE interview and a reduction in EDI-2 total scores. None of the patients had to be admitted to hospital. Treatment satisfaction was high in both patients and parents. DISCUSSION: Findings provide preliminary evidence that HT is feasible, acceptable and produces clinically significant improvements in targeted outcome.
