Associations between mealtime anxiety and food intake in anorexia nervosa.
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 20 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
objectiveA salient disturbance in anorexia nervosa (AN) is the persistent restriction of food intake. Eating behavior in AN is thought to be influenced by anxiety. The current study probed associations between mealtime anxiety and food intake among individuals with AN and healthy comparison individuals (HC).
methodData were combined across three studies (total of 92 AN and 78 HC) for secondary data analysis. Participants completed a multiitem laboratory buffet meal and visual analogue scale assessments of pre-meal and post-meal anxiety. Linear regression models assessed the association between mealtime anxiety and calorie and fat intake at the meal, and whether associations differed by diagnostic group.
resultsAmong individuals with AN, pre-meal anxiety was significantly associated with reduced calorie intake and reduced consumption of calories from fat at the meal; these associations were not observed among HC. There was no evidence for an association between calorie/fat intake at the meal and post-meal anxiety in either group. DISCUSSION: Treatments that target mealtime anxiety may improve eating and nourishment among individuals with AN. Interventions like exposure therapy that provide skills in overcoming mealtime anxiety might be enhanced by informing patients that post-meal anxiety is not related to intake.
