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

backgroundThis study validated a parent-report version of the Eating Disorder Examination-Questionnaire adapted for Children (ChEDE-Q), referred to as the ChEDE-QP, within a population-based sample of parent-child dyads, including both children with and without loss of control (LOC) eating.

methodThe ChEDE-QP was completed by 115 parent-child dyads. Item characteristics, reliability, factor structure, discriminant, convergent, and criterion validity were evaluated. The child version of the Eating Disorder Examination (ChEDE) interview and the ChEDE-Q were used for validation.

resultsMissing item responses occurred in 0-4% of items. Corrected item-subscale correlations were mostly sufficient. Internal consistency ranged from acceptable to excellent. Medium-sized correlations between ChEDE-QP, ChEDE-Q and ChEDE global and subscale scores indicated satisfying convergent validity. Nonsignificant differences between children with and without LOC indicated low discriminant validity. Regarding the presence of LOC eating, parental and child reports were poorly associated. DISCUSSION: The ChEDE-QP was found to be a reliable questionnaire for assessing children's eating disorder psychopathology, indicating that parents are helpful for gaining a general understanding of eating disorder psychopathology. However, the agreement on the presence of LOC eating between parents and children was low indicating that the ChEDE-QP should not be used for assessing LOC eating episodes in the absence of child report.
