Redefining prevention and early intervention to include longstanding and severe eating disorders.
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. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 8 papers.
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
There is a lack of agreement over the usefulness and coherence of the term 'severe and enduring' to denote a sub-category of illness amongst patients with eating disorders. Nonetheless, a proportion of patients experience longstanding and severe illnesses, often as a result of a lack of treatment altogether, or poor responses to currently available treatments as they are delivered within existing specialist services. This paper is written from the perspective of lived experience and published research. It calls for a re-imagination of existing principles within the field of eating disorders which have underpinned recent demonstrable improvements in clinical practice and outcomes for patients, namely prevention and early intervention. These concepts can also be applied in the development of more effective and inclusive care pathways for patients with longstanding and severe eating disorders. The author reminds us of the importance of language in the description and categorisation of illness, and the essential requirement that those with lived/living experience of illness share equitable decision-making power in defining their condition and designing the healthcare provision they receive.
