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

BACKGROUND/

objectivesFeeding and eating disorders (FEDs) constitute an important mental health problem today, especially among youngsters. The Sick, Control, One, Fat, Food (SCOFF) questionnaire was developed 25 years ago and remains the most frequently applied screening tool for FEDs among adults and youngsters. The aim of the present study was to translate and adapt the SCOFF questionnaire to the Greek language, using a tertiary-setting adolescent sample.

methodsA total of 167 adolescents (86 boys, 81 girls) admitted to the pediatric outpatient clinics of the Georgios Gennimatas and Hippokration General hospitals completed the SCOFF questionnaire. Anthropometric indices were measured and dietary intake was recorded.

resultsA total of 74 adolescents (44.3% of the sample) were classified as engaging in disordered eating behaviors and as possible patients with FEDs based on the SCOFF questionnaire. No differences were noted in the dietary intake between adolescents who screened positive and those who screened negative for FEDs. The body mass index z-score and obesity status were greater among children screening positive for FEDs compared to those screening negative (

conclusionsThe present study revealed that more than two out of five adolescents attending a pediatric clinic exhibited disordered eating behavior. The use of the G-SCOFF questionnaire is feasible and effective for FED triage in the Greek tertiary pediatric setting.
