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

Bulimia Nervosa (BN) and Binge Eating Disorder (BED) have considerable symptom overlap, and prior studies observed similiarities in respect to patient's body image. However, weight-based stereotypes have so far not been considered together with other facets of body image. This study investigated body image, body size estimation accuracy and weight-based stereotypes in a German-Italian sample of 22 patients with BN, 22 patients with BED and 44 weight-matched controls who had no eating disorder. Patients with BN and BED reported significantly more negative body image than controls and were not differently accurate in estimating their body size than the controls. However, patients with BN showed stronger weight-based stereotypes compared to patients with BED and controls, suggesting that these patients hold stronger stereotypes and apply weight-based stereotypes to lower weight excessively. Observations from this study suggest that clinical treatment of body image disturbance in patients with BN and BED should address negative body image and weight-based stereotypes in a differentiated way.
