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

introductionNon-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) is frequent in eating disorders (ED). The aim of this study was to describe NSSI among subjects hospitalised for anorexia nervosa (AN) who self-harm and factors associated with NSSI in this population.

methodsThis study was part of a larger French longitudinal multi-centre study. Two hundred and two women with AN were recruited from inpatient treatment facilities for ED from 2009 to 2011. All participants fulfilled the DSM-5 diagnostic criteria of AN. Subjects with and without NSSI were compared for clinical characteristics and comorbidities in bivariate analyses. Logistic regression analysis was then used to identify factors associated with NSSI.

resultsThe mean age of the sample was 20.8 years (± 6.6). The mean BMI was 14.3 (± 1.5). Overall 36.1% had self-harmed in the past 6 months. The main factors that triggered NSSI were a feeling of physical or psychological unease (45.2%), feelings of anger (24.7%), an attempt to relieve discomfort (19.2%), and low self-esteem (16.4%). Lifetime major depressive disorder, suicide attempts and eating concerns were independently associated with NSSI. DISCUSSION: ED symptoms were linked to NSSI, but psychiatric history also played a key role. This is consistent with hypotheses of common underlying transdiagnostic mechanisms linking emotional dysregulation to NSSI and ED. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level III, well-designed cohort or case-control analytic studies.
