Exploring the burden of anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa in Mexico, 1990-2021.
Article 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 3 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
backgroundEating disorders (ED) have been on the rise in both high-income and middle-income countries. The objective of this study is to analyze the burden of eating disorders (ED) due anorexia nervosa (AN) and bulimia nervosa (BN) in Mexico at the national and subnational levels between 1990 and 2021 and to measure the correlation between disability-adjusted life years (DALY) with the socio-demographic index (SDI) and with the healthcare access and quality index (HAQI) for both 1990 and 2021.
methodsThis was a secondary analysis of the GBD 2021. The DALY number and age-standardized rate (ASR) were analyzed for 1990, 2005, 2019, and 2021. The data were disaggregated by sex, age groups, and subcauses (AN and BN) at national and subnational levels.
resultsIn Mexico, the ASR DALY due to ED increased by 50.2% and 49.6% between 1990 and 2021. In all states and for all years, women had higher ASR DALY due to ED than men. The ASR DALY was also higher for BN than for AN. A positive and significant correlation existed between ASR DALY due to ED and the SDI and HAQI.
conclusionsED due AN and BN represents a significant burden for individuals under 50 years old in Mexico. There are wide disparities between states and heterogeneous patterns by sex, age groups, and subcauses. Prioritizing this issue on the country's public policy agenda is crucial.
