Programme-Led and Focused Interventions for Recent Onset Binge/Purge Eating Disorders: Use and Outcomes in the First Episode Rapid Early Intervention for Eating Disorders (FREED) Network.
Article in The International journal of eating disorders, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
objectiveWe aimed to compare use of, and outcomes from, programme-led and focused interventions (guided self-help and 10 session cognitive behavioral therapy for eating disorders [CBT-T]) relative to other psychological therapies (including group and individual CBT for eating disorders [CBT-ED]) in a national sample of emerging adults receiving early intervention for a non-underweight binge/purge eating disorder.
methodData were drawn from 54 English eating disorder services using the First Episode Rapid Early Intervention for Eating Disorders (FREED) model. Participants (N = 1097) had a mean age of 18.95 years (SD 2.42) and diagnoses of bulimia nervosa (n = 506; 45%), binge eating disorder (n = 121; 11%), another specified feeding or eating disorder (n = 460; 42%), or an eating disorder, unspecified (n = 10, 1%). Linear mixed models were used to assess for effects of time and treatment on binge eating and purging, eating disorder psychopathology, depression/anxiety, and body mass index.
results11% (n = 117) of patients received guided self-help and 24% (n = 268) received CBT-T. Baseline eating disorder psychopathology and depressive/anxiety symptoms did not differ significantly across the guided self-help, CBT-T, group CBT-ED, and individual CBT-ED conditions. All treatments were associated with significant reductions in symptoms over time. GSH and CBT-T performed comparably to longer CBT-ED. DISCUSSION: We provide additional evidence for the effectiveness of GSH and CBT-T in the treatment of non-underweight binge/purge eating disorders. Programme-led and focused interventions may be under-utilized and future research should explore when they are offered, and when not, both within and outside of early intervention settings.
