United States-based practice guidelines for children and adolescents with eating disorders : Synthesis of clinical practice guidelines.
Review in Journal of eating disorders, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
introductionSeveral practice guidelines exist from professional organizations in the United States to support the assessment and management of eating disorders in children and adolescents. This manuscript synthesizes the key areas of overlap from these guidelines and provides directions for future research and alignment to improve care. RECOMMENDATIONS: Consistent screening for eating disorders in primary care is recommended to ensure early identification and referral to treatment. Outpatient treatment supported by families, including family based treatment, is the first line of care recommended by guidelines. Multidisciplinary treatment teams benefit patients in covering the variety of aspects of health that eating disorders impact, including mental health, nutritional health, and physical health. Patients may require hospitalization under certain medical criteria such as bradycardia or specific lab abnormalities.
conclusionsGuidelines show consensus on the importance of early identification and treatment access, involvement of family in treatment, and the use of a multidisciplinary treatment team. However, future work is needed to guide care of Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID), as well as the impact of weight inclusive care and the development of validated screening tools for children and adolescents for all eating disorders.
