Change in eating-disorder psychopathology network structure in patients with binge-eating disorder: Findings from treatment trial with 12-month follow-up.
Trial report in Journal of consulting and clinical psychology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
objectiveEffective treatments exist for binge-eating disorder (BED), although roughly 50% of patients fail to attain binge-eating abstinence. Evidence on how to refine treatments is lacking. Conceptualizing BED as arising from a network of symptom-to-symptom interactions allows for the identification of the most strongly connected symptoms, which could inform intervention targets. This study assessed how BED symptom centrality changed with behaviorally based weight-loss treatments (BBWLTs).
methodsParticipants were 191 adult patients (71% female, 79% White) with BED with comorbid obesity participating in a randomized controlled trial testing 6-month BBWLTs for BED. Independent assessments of BED symptoms were performed at pretreatment, posttreatment, and 12 months after treatment. Strength centrality indicated how strongly and frequently symptoms were associated with each other in the network. Significant changes in centrality between timepoints were determined using permutation tests.
resultsAt pretreatment, overvaluation of shape/weight and preoccupation with shape/weight and food/eating had the highest strength centrality. At posttreatment and 12-month follow-up, dissatisfaction with shape/weight had the highest centrality, which significantly increased from pretreatment.
conclusionsThe relations among symptoms of BED are not static and change over time with treatment. BBWLTs do not appear to reduce connectivity of overvaluation of shape/weight (the most central BED symptom prior to treatment), but instead increase connectivity of dissatisfaction with shape/weight with other symptoms following treatment. The observed network structure of symptoms following BBWLTs resembles network analyses of people without eating disorders. Findings highlight the importance of understanding how treatments impact symptom relationships, not just symptom intensities. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved).
