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

objectiveDisordered eating behaviors (DEB) are dysfunctional changes in eating behavior that do not meet the diagnostic criteria for eating disorders. DEB affect a significant percentage of individuals, yet the topic remains under-researched. The current study investigates the developmental trajectory and psychopathological correlates of DEB in children and adolescents in Brazil.

methodsThe sample included 1,583 participants from the Brazilian High-Risk Cohort who were assessed across three waves between 2010 (age 6-12 years) and 2019 (age 12-21 years). Psychopathology was assessed through the Development and Well-Being Assessment, and DEB was assessed through Development and Well-Being Assessment's eating disorder section. Dimensional psychopathology was measured with the Child Behavior Checklist.

resultsThe participants were divided into dysfunctional and non-dysfunctional eating groups. DEB varied significantly, with few participants having a persistent pattern. DEB were strongly linked to higher internalizing symptoms, especially in girls, but less to externalizing behaviors. DEB increased the likelihood of eating disorders, major depressive disorder, and higher body mass index.

conclusionThis study reveals that DEB are frequent among Brazilian children and adolescents and are linked to psychopathology (especially internalizing symptoms) and body mass index. Future research should investigate the underlying mechanisms of DEB and develop strategies for early detection and effective interventions.
