Sex differences in refeeding among hospitalized adolescents and young adults with eating disorders.
Article in The International journal of eating disorders, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
objectiveTo determine sex differences in refeeding (i.e., short-term nutritional rehabilitation) outcomes among hospitalized adolescents and young adults with eating disorders.
methodsWe retrospectively reviewed electronic medical records of 601 patients aged 9-25 years admitted to the University of California, San Francisco Eating Disorders Program for medical and nutritional management between May 2012 and August 2020. Descriptive statistics, crude, and adjusted linear regression models were used to assess the association between sex and nutritional outcomes and predictors of length of stay.
resultsA total of 588 adolescents and young adults met eligibility criteria (16% male, mean [SD] age 15.96 [2.75], 71.6% anorexia nervosa, admission percent median body mass index [%mBMI] 87.1 ± 14.1). In unadjusted comparisons, there were no significant sex differences in prescribed kilocalories (kcal) per day at admission (2013 vs. 1980, p = .188); however, males had higher estimated energy requirements (EER, kcal) (3,694 vs. 2,925, p < .001). In linear regression models adjusting for potential confounders, male sex was associated with higher prescribed kcals at discharge (B = 835 kcal, p < .001), greater weight change (B = 0.47 kg, p = .021), and longer length of stay (B = 1.94 days, p = .001) than females. Older age, lower admission weight, lower prescribed kcal at admission, higher EER, and lower heart rate at admission were factors associated with longer length of stay in a linear regression model. DISCUSSION: These findings support the development of individualized approaches for males with eating disorders to improve quality of care and health care efficiency among an underserved population.
