Differences in the factor structure of the Eating Attitudes Test-26 in female adolescent patients with eating disorders before and after treatment.
Article in 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 1 paper.
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
objectiveThe Eating Attitudes Test-26 (EAT-26) is considered the screening instrument of choice to identify eating disorders (ED) symptoms in clinical and community populations, showing a classical three-factor structure. This study assessed whether the factor structure of the EAT-26 in patients with ED was stable at admission and discharge from inpatient treatment.
methodsWe administered the EAT-26 to 207 female adolescents with ED at both admission and discharge.
resultsFactor structure of the EAT-26 at admission comprised of four factors and at discharge three factors and 15-item version of the EAT, producing two factors, was considerably more stable at both admission and discharge. Cutoff score of 23 in the EAT-15 better defined patients as improved at discharge than the cutoff score of 20 in the EAT-26.
conclusionDifferent factor structures of the EAT are found in the same population of young females with ED during the acute stage of illness vs. symptomatic improvement. In addition, shorter versions of the EAT with higher cutoff scores may better differentiate between improved and not improved patients at discharge. Findings suggest that using the EAT-15 is more effective for evaluating a population with clinical characteristics of ED.
