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

Objective: We conducted a comprehensive scoping review of network research in the field of eating disorders (EDs). Method: Research published between 2016 and 2021 was identified. We identified 61 manuscripts. Results: We found that overvaluation of weight and shape, cognitive concerns around body image, cognitive-affective ED symptoms, and restriction/restraint are core to EDs, in both ED and non-ED samples. Several general psychopathology symptoms are also core to EDs, including affective symptoms, interpersonal problems, feelings of inadequacy, interoceptive awareness, and post-traumatic stress symptoms. Bridge pathways linking EDs to other psychological disorders include affective symptoms, social eating, low self-esteem, physical sensations, and ineffectiveness. Discussion: Future research should use longitudinal group and idiographic network models, be conducted in non-Western, older, and male samples, and study whether targeting core ED symptoms may improve ED interventions.
