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

Systematic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune disease with significant physical and psychological challenges. Case studies have highlighted examples of eating disorders (ED) developing in patients with SLE, but little is known about rates of co-morbidity or reasons for this. This systematic review investigated the prevalence of, and risk factors for, EDs in individuals with SLE. Exploring 21 studies with 3214 participants, most of which were cross-sectional with small sample sizes, findings indicated a similar prevalence of EDs in SLE populations as in the general population. However, individuals with SLE exhibited increased body image concerns, linked to higher disease activity, disease damage, and depressive symptoms. No studies explored risk factors for other ED symptoms (e.g. restriction, binge eating). This review emphasizes the need for further research to better understand the relationship between SLE and EDs, providing a basis for improved clinical practices and interventions for this population.
