Overcontrol in anorexia nervosa: Elevated prefrontal activity and amygdala connectivity in a working memory task with food distractors.

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
Individuals with anorexia nervosa (AN) are thought to engage in excessive amounts of self-control, which may contribute to disorder development and maintenance. This "overcontrol" may explain previous findings of increased activity and connectivity in frontal brain regions involved in top-down control functions in response to diverse stimuli including emotionally salient visual food stimuli. However, these observations were made largely in tasks demanding explicit stimulus processing. Given the omnipresence of food cues and their particular relevance for AN, it deems important to test if these alterations are also present when food stimuli are task-irrelevant. To this end, we acquired functional magnetic resonance imaging data during a working memory 2-back task with images of high-caloric food as distractors in 32 acutely ill young women with AN and 32 age-matched female healthy control participants. Neural activity and connectivity was analyzed in
