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
Purpose: "Drunkorexia" describes a phenomenon in which alcohol consumption is associated with unhealthy eating habits. The tendency to use extreme forms of weight control is a way to compensate for the planned drinking episodes. The objective of the study was to characterize the phenomenon in a non-clinical group of adults declaring alcohol consumption, and to assess its relationships with alcohol use and disordered eating related variables. Methods: 286 individuals placed in Upper Silesia, Poland participating in the online research program completed the following online surveys: demographics, AUDIT, EAT-26, CEBRACS, and DMBS. CEBRACS>21 cut off was used to identify the drunkorexia group. The inclusion criteria required an age above 18 and a declaration of alcohol consumption. The exclusion criteria were the self-reported formal diagnosis of alcohol dependence or eating disorders. Results: Drunkorexia was observed among 43% of the study group. The drunkorexia group had significantly more problems related to alcohol consumption, endorsed higher dieting and eating restrictions, social motives, eating avoidance, and compensatory behaviors. Hierarchical regression showed that higher AUDIT, oral control on EAT-26, social motives for drinking and restrictive eating, eating avoidance, and altering drinking behavior to control calories accounted for 63% of variance in drunkorexia severity. Cluster analysis indicated two distinct groups: one with pronounced disordered eating behaviors and one with pronounced alcohol consumption behaviors. Conclusions: Drunkorexia appears to be prevalent among people who consume some amount of alcohol without clinical diagnosis of alcohol dependence or eating disorders. Meeting the cut-off for drunkorexia is associated with greater problems related to alcohol use and disordered eating behaviors. The results obtained from the research may suggest drunkorexia as an independent psychological construct with some elements of eating disorders and alcohol abuse. The present study highlights the need to screen for drunkorexia, to educate and support individuals who have difficulties coping with the challenges of their environment or the pressures of the slim body culture.
