[Factors associated with the risk of developing eating disorders among medical students in Casablanca, Morocco].
Article in The Pan African medical journal, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
introductioneating disorders (EDs) are particularly common among young adults, including students. The purpose of this study is to determine eating disorder prevalence among medical students in Casablanca and to assess the risk of developing EDs on the bases of associated factors including socioeconomic factors, clinical features, anxiety and depression.
methodswe conducted a cross-sectional, descriptive and analytical study at the Ibn Rochd University Hospital and at the Faculty of Medicine and Pharmacy of Casablanca, Morocco, during the academic year 2016-2017. The survey involved a sample of 506 students. We used the SCOFF-F (Sick, Control, One Stone, Fat, Food, French version) questionnaire, a validated tool for eating disorders and the hospital anxiety and depression scale (HAD) for anxiety and depression.
resultsthe SCOFF questionnaire found that 127 people out of 506 (25.09%) were likely to suffer from eating disorders. Age, educational level, weight-management tools, anxiety and depression were significantly associated with the risk of developing eating disorders among medical students.
conclusionour results are in agreement with data from the literature concerning eating disorder rates in the student population and, more specifically, among medical students. Further, studies of a more heterogeneous population are needed to have a more global vision of the situation in Morocco.
