The Effects of Intensive Residential Treatment for Feeding and Eating Disorders (FEDs) in Adolescence: The Case of an Italian Facility.
Observational study in Nutrients, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundFeeding and eating disorders (FEDs) represent a global health problem with an increasing incidence and a progressively earlier onset. Residential treatment is notable for its intensity and ability to provide multidisciplinary support to both patients and families. The objective of this study was to clinically characterize patients and to evaluate the impact of treatment at the "Orti di Ada" facility on the evolution of FEDs in adolescent patients.
methodsA cohort of 47 minors, treated in 2019-2024, was studied through longitudinal observation. Data were collected from medical records, and standardized questionnaires were administered at baseline (T0) and at the conclusion of treatment (T1). Comparisons between scores on the scales were made using paired t-tests for within-group changes from T0 to T1 or using Mann-Whitney tests for between-group comparisons. Spearman's correlation coefficient was used to assess the relationship between pairs of variables.
resultsThe sample consisted of female patients (mean age: 15 years). The mean body mass index (BMI) at T1 was 16.6 kg/m
conclusionsPsychological measures showed significant improvements in subjects with exclusive depressive comorbidity. The correlations of age and disease duration with changes in questionnaire scores suggest that earlier treatment leads to more favorable outcomes. The results provided insights into the appropriateness of intensive treatment that, when targeting specific psychological factors, improves biological and psychological recovery.
