Beyond the numbers: reimagining healing with psychedelics for eating disorders.
Article in Journal of eating disorders, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Psychedelic medicine is currently being evaluated for numerous mental health indications, and there is significant interest in applying these models of care to eating disorders (EDs) given the limited efficacy of available treatment models, especially for those living with anorexia nervosa. Preliminary findings across a number of studies suggest promise. In this commentary, researchers with experience in psychedelics and EDs present a rationale and considerations for the application of psychedelic medicine, including psychedelic-assisted therapy (PAT) for EDs. These contributions are informed by those with lived experience as well as the authors' experiences in the field. By addressing underlying psychological and transpersonal factors and improving treatment engagement, psychedelic medicine, though not without risks, may offer a valuable adjunct to existing treatments, enhancing overall outcomes for some living with an ED. This commentary also aims to provide a multi-dimensional perspective to inform the field, including with respect to the etiology of these illnesses, as psychedelic medicine becomes more accessible in naturalistic, research and clinical settings.
