Eating disorders through the periodontal lens.
Review in Periodontology 2000, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
People with eating disorders suffer from a mental disorder that negatively affects their physical and/or mental health. The three most frequent eating disorders are binge eating disorder, bulimia nervosa, and anorexia nervosa. Environmental and genetic factors are involved in the pathogenesis of eating disorders in vulnerable persons. Although treatment varies among different types of eating disorders, nutrition, medical care combined with psychotherapy and medications are standard of care. The aim of this review is to give an overview of the oral health impact of eating disorders with a special emphasis on the periodontium. Oral health professionals have a unique role to play in the early diagnosis of eating disorders because of the important impact that eating disorders have on the oral cavity. In vomiting-associated eating disorders, the risk of erosive tooth wear is mainly localized to the palatal surfaces of the incisors. Emerging evidence also indicates a high frequency of gingivitis and gingival recessions associated with compulsive toothbrushing. A holistic approach, including oral health and functional rehabilitation, should be promoted by physicians, psychiatrists, and dentists for people with eating disorders.
