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

purposeThe aim of this study was to adapt the Orthorexia Nervosa Inventory for use in Hungarian (ONI-Hu), and explore its associations with disordered eating, intuitive eating and mental health measures.

methods944 participants completed a test battery, including ONI-Hu, the Three Factor Eating Questionnaire, the Intuitive Eating Scale-2 and the Mental Health Continuum Short-Form. Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was used to assess the validity of ONI-Hu. Correlation and regression analyses were conducted to evaluate the convergent and discriminant validity.

resultsCFA confirmed the original three-factor structure of ONI-Hu. Positive associations were found between ONI scores and restrictive eating behaviors, and negative associations with intuitive eating measures. Furthermore, the ONI composite factor score displayed no significant relationship with mental health indicators.

conclusionsONI-Hu exhibits strong reliability and validity, and provides a deeper understanding of ON. Results suggest that orthorexic behaviors may serve as a coping mechanism, offering an illusion of control and emotional security. Inconsistent findings about the relationship between ON tendencies and mental health indicators propose that the sense of control might provide a false sense of well-being to the individual, distorting their perceptions of their overall health. Level of evidence Level V, descriptive cross-sectional study.
