1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

introductionReports assessing long-term treatment outcomes for anorexia nervosa (AN) are divergent and refer to different populations. They lack long-term observations in AN patients in Poland. AIM OF THE STUDY: Analysis of the recovery, relapse rate, and predictive factors in patients treated due to AN in adolescence. MATERIAL AND

methodsA total of 201 subjects were given a survey. Ninety-seven women were recruited: 56 reported to the clinic and 41 filled in the survey.

resultsThe average period from hospitalization to the survey was 7.76 ±4.39 years. Remission was found in 78.4%, 21.6% still pre-sented AN, and 84.2% required a one-off hospitalisation, 10.5% twice. The average BMI was: 20.08 ±3.24 kg/m 2 . The rate of attempted suicides was 6.2%. Predictive factors for poor outcome were as follows: older age of the patient when falling ill, lower SDS-BMI score at the onset of AN, transition from the restrictive type of AN into a binge-eating/purging type, and fail-ure to maintain contact with the mother.

conclusions1. Most girls suffering from the restricting type of AN in adolescence are cured permanently. 2. The severity of symptoms in these girls does not eliminate the chance of recovery and achieving important life goals, com-pleting education, finding a life partner, and having children. 3. Girls with a smaller degree of cachexia at onset of AN, with no binge-eating/purging symptoms, maintaining regular con-tact with their mothers, have a better prognosis for recovery. 4. Six per cent of women treated in their youth for AN face the risk of attempted suicide, which points to the need to monitor their mental state for many years.
