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

objectiveImpairments in personality functioning (PF) according to the Alternative Model of Personality Disorders (AMPD) may affect anorexia nervosa (AN) and its treatment. However, PF impairments in adolescents with AN have not been studied. This case-control study analysed PF impairments in adolescent inpatients suffering from AN compared to a clinical control group (CC) and investigated the relationship of PF with AN severity.

methodAdolescent patients with AN (n = 43) and CC (n = 127) were matched by age, sex, and global functioning. Validated interviews were applied to assess impairments in PF (Semi-Structured Interview for Personality Functioning, STiP-5.1) and severity of AN (Eating Disorder Examination, EDE), as well as weight measures. Group comparisons of PF impairment and the relationship between PF impairment and AN severity were analysed using multiple linear regression.

resultsAN patients showed greater impairment in the facet 'self-esteem' (p = 0.033, Cohen's f

conclusionsThese results support theoretical frameworks of AN and highlight the importance of PF impairments in understanding and treating AN. Future research should investigate how impairments in PF affect AN development and treatment response through longitudinal studies.
