Perspectives of general psychiatric inpatient care for persons with anorexia nervosa: an integrative literature review.
Review in BMJ open, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
objectivesPersons diagnosed with anorexia nervosa (AN) may receive care in general psychiatric inpatient care (GPIC) for several reasons including severity of their condition, comorbidities and lack of access to specialised inpatient care. However, scant research has explored how this specific setting may impact persons with AN, either positively or negatively. Additionally, there is limited evidence regarding the most effective form of care for AN within GPIC. This integrative literature review provides a comprehensive overview of research focusing on care for AN in GPIC settings, shedding light on person-centred care and power within this specific context.
designThe review was conducted according to the methods of Whittemore and Knafl. We searched the academic databases PubMed, CINAHL and PsycInfo, with the latest search conducted in March 2025, in accordance with a specific search strategy and analysed the data using a constant comparison method. The review is reported in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses checklist for systematic reviews.
resultsThe synthesis revealed three perspectives of care for persons with AN in the context of GPIC:
conclusionResearch indicates that GPIC possesses the biomedical knowledge necessary to save lives, but there is a lack of research focusing on the perspectives of persons with AN. This gap in understanding may affect treatment outcomes, the possibility of recovery and the personal experience of care for those with AN in this context.
