Diagnostic accuracy of screening tests for eating disorders in adolescents and adults in primary health care: protocol for systematic review and meta-analysis.
Article in BMJ open, 2024. 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
introductionEating disorders can be irreversible and, in many cases, fatal. However, the symptoms full recovery is possible, and early diagnosis is one, of many, important factors for the success of treatment. In this sense, the screening of risk behaviours arises as a relevant alternative to improve the prognosis of patients. This review will analyse the diagnostic accuracy of self-administered screening tests for eating disorders in adolescent and adult users of primary healthcare. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: A systematic review will be performed by independent reviewers. The databases used will be Medline, Embase, the Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature, the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, Web of Science, PsycINFO, ProQuest Dissertations and Theses Database and Google Scholar without restrictions on the year of publication and language. Studies that compared the results of self-administered screening tests for eating disorders in adolescents and adults in primary care with the results of clinical interviews will be included. Data extraction will consist of the identification of the publication, study and participant characteristics, general information about the tools and data on the diagnostic accuracy properties. The risk of bias in the studies will be assessed via the Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies. Qualitative data will be presented in narrative form. The meta-analysis will be conducted via the random effects model with the metadata command of Stata. The summary statistics for sensitivity and specificity, as well as their 95% CI, will be generated. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: This systematic review is based on published literature; therefore, submission to an ethics committee is not necessary. The dissemination of the study will be carried out through technical reports, scientific articles, posters, meeting presentations, specific forums, national congresses and international media. PROSPERO REGISTRATION NUMBER: CRD42023476156.
