Atypical Anorexia in Youth: Cautiously Bridging the Treatment Gap.
Review in Children (Basel, Switzerland), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
Atypical anorexia nervosa (AAN) is a restrictive eating disorder (ED) that describes individuals who may be normal weighted or overweight; many have a premorbid history of obesity. Pediatric care providers are trained to identify and provide best practices for youth with pediatric obesity; however, most pediatric care providers are not trained to assess and treat restrictive EDs which typically present in youth aged 10 and 14 years. Although individuals with AAN may appear to be within a 'healthy weight', many experience malnutrition, psychological symptoms, and severe physiological complications after weight loss. These individuals are presenting to pediatric services at an increasing rate and exhibit acute medical instability along with severe ED psychopathology. One complicating factor is youth with AAN may take longer to be identified by pediatric providers and may be reluctant to engage in treatment. Delayed treatment for AAN, along with all EDs often results in poorer treatment outcomes. A greater understanding of this complex illness is essential to inform medical decisions, such as labs, vitals, hospital admissions, and psychological therapy. Currently, there are no standardized guidelines for treating AAN in youths. This review is designed to present evidence-based treatment to inform and guide best treatment practices.
