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

Orthorexia nervosa (ON) is pathological obsession and preoccupation with 'healthy' and 'clean' eating, which is more pronounced in specific population groups such as fitness enthusiasts. The aim of this observational study was to determine the prevalence and characteristics of ON symptoms among gym attendees in Croatia based on ORTHO-15 questionnaire. A number of individual characteristics were considered too, from eating habits, anthropometry, personality traits, psychophysical state, to the presence of irritable bowel syndrome symptoms. Out of 126 participants who completed the questionnaire, 99 were analyzed (female 68.7% and male 31.3%, median age 24 years). Based on the traditional criterion (ORTHO-15 score <40), the prevalence of ON was 77.8% and 33.3% according to the modified criterion (ORTHO-15 <35). Women were two times more likely to have high ON tendency in comparison to men (39.7%
