Orthorexia Nervosa, Eating Disorders, and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder: A Selective Review of the Last Seven Years.
Review in Journal of clinical medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 32 papers, 3 of them syntheses 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
Orthorexia nervosa (ON) is defined as an exaggerated, obsessive, pathological fixation on healthy food, healthy eating, or health-conscious eating behaviors. In the literature, there is an ongoing debate over whether ON should be considered simply a lifestyle phenomenon or a psychiatric disorder. In this vein, ON seems to share psychopathological characteristics with both eating disorders (EDs) and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). However, there are insufficient data to reconcile the debate. The present study aimed at consolidating evidence on the clinical significance of ON and its relationship with EDs and OCD. A selective review of the literature published between January 2015 and March 2022 was conducted, following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Ten studies were included. Some of these studies suggested that ON might follow a full-syndrome DSM-5 ED. Other studies proposed that ON and DSM-5 EDs may co-occur. Finally, only two studies suggested a relationship between ON and OCD. To date, the clinical significance of ON and its relationship with EDs and other DSM-5 psychiatric disorders (e.g., OCD) appears complicated and unclear. Future longitudinal research on the possible clinical course of ON is needed.
