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
backgroundIt is common for patients with eating disorders (ED) to report traumatic experiences early in their lifetime. The objective of this study was to explore the presence and types of traumatic events and the comorbidity with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in a sample of adolescents with severe ED.
methodA total of 118 adolescents treated at our Eating Disorders Day Care Hospital (EDDCH) were systematically evaluated for depressive symptoms, disordered eating, early traumatic experiences, and presence of PTSD. Likewise, various clinical variables were collected including comorbidities, age upon ED diagnosis, number of hospital admissions, presence of non-suicidal self-injury, and suicide attempts.
resultsSeventy-seven (65.3%) of adolescents of the total sample reported exposure to four or more traumatic events (bullying, psychological abuse, and sexual abuse being the most common). Fifty-seven of them (48.3% of the total sample) scored significantly high in PTSD assessment. Patients with ED and comorbid PTSD (PTSD+) presented higher disordered eating (
conclusionsIt is imperative to systematically screen adolescents with severe ED for traumatic events and PTSD, especially in patients presenting with more depressive symptoms and suicidal or non-suicidal self-injury behaviours, since this subset of patients could be at a higher risk of PTSD. Offering specific psychotherapeutic care targeting PTSD and/or posttraumatic symptoms in addition to the ED standard of care could arguably improve the prognosis of the ED in comorbid patients.
