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
Over the past five decades (1975-2024), research on eating disorders (EDs) has expanded significantly, as evidenced by the bibliometric analysis by Lee and Chi (2025). This growth reflects heightened public and academic interest, likely influenced by several key developments in the classification and epidemiology of EDs. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual for Mental Disorders has progressively included more ED diagnoses, such as bulimia nervosa, binge-eating disorder (BED), and avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID) between 1975 and 2024. Recognition of EDs among males and older individuals has improved, although these groups remain underrepresented in clinical settings and in research. Global studies indicate rising ED prevalence in Asian countries. While anorexia nervosa remains relatively rare in Latin America and Africa, bulimia nervosa and BED are also common disorders on these continents. Epidemiological data in the Netherlands suggest that, overall, ED incidence has not increased between 1975 and 2024; however, a notable exception is the significant increase in anorexia nervosa among 10- to 14-year-old girls. Emerging evidence indicates that since the onset of and during the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been a global rise in reported cases of EDs.
