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

objectivePeople with eating disorders (EDs) often need intensive help from loved ones. The New Maudsley Collaborative Care Approach (NMCCA) skills-based training supports carers in this role. This study examined the effectiveness and feasibility of the NMCCA-training for carers in the Netherlands.

methodsParticipants were parents of 12-25-aged individuals with a (provisional) ED diagnosis. The training consisted of five online sessions in 6 weeks. Outcomes included carers' levels of confidence in ED-related caregiver skills, symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress, and health-related quality of life. A paired samples t-test and Wilcoxon signed-rank tests compared outcomes after to before the training. An Analysis of Covariance examined changes in ED-related caregiver skills confidence over time, controlling for baseline anxiety traits. Feasibility and acceptability were assessed using Visual Analogue Scales.

resultsOf the 37 carers who started the training, 33 completed both before and after training assessments. Carers evaluated the training as feasible and helpful, which was also reflected by a significant increase in ED-related caregiver skills confidence (staying robust when controlling for baseline anxiety traits).

conclusionsFindings contribute to research showing the effectiveness of the NMCCA skills-based training, alongside showing its potential for improving ED-related caregiver skills in Dutch carers.
