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

backgroundThe adverse effects of COVID-19 and the associated restrictions on eating disorder populations have been discussed in recent literature. However, little is known about the presentation of cases with avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID) during this period.

aimsTo explore the extent of the literature on the presentation of ARFID, and ARFID-like cases, during the COVID-19 pandemic.

methodCochrane Library, CINAHL (EBSCO), PsycINFO (EBSCO), EMBASE (Ovid) and Medline (Ovid) were searched for publications between March 2020 and May 2023. Google Scholar and reference lists were hand searched. At least two reviewers independently screened each paper. Narrative synthesis was used.

resultsSeven papers were included: four case reports and three cohort studies (total ARFID sample of 46). Included papers were assessed as having high (

conclusionsPublications specifically pertaining to ARFID presentations during the COVID-19 pandemic have been few. Papers found have been of small sample sizes and lack subanalyses for ARFID within broader eating disorder samples. Continued surveillance is needed to evaluate any COVID-19-specific effects on the development, identification, treatment and outcomes of ARFID.
