Psychopathology in Adults with Co-Occurring Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder and Higher Weight.

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
<p>Introduction: Avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID) occurs in individuals across all weight ranges and age groups. While previous studies primarily focused on children and individuals with underweight, research on ARFID in adults with higher weight is virtually non-existent. Therefore, this study aimed to examine whether adults with (1) ARFID symptoms and (2) ARFID diagnosis differ clinically based on weight status (underweight, normal weight, overweight/obesity).
methodsAdults from the population participated in an online survey and optional clinical interview to verify ARFID diagnostic criteria. Data from 369 adults with ARFID symptoms (online survey) and 77 adults with ARFID diagnosis (interview) were analyzed.
resultsOverweight/obesity was present in 34% of the online sample (30 ± 9 years, 77% female) and 39% of the interview sample (29 ± 8 years, 62% female). Adults with both ARFID symptoms and ARFID diagnosis and overweight/obesity showed less lack of interest in eating, higher eating disorder psychopathology, and more metabolic comorbidities compared to those with underweight or normal weight. Additionally, adults with ARFID and overweight/obesity exhibited more psychosocial impairment than those with underweight (100% vs. 65%) but no weight loss due to restricted food intake. There were no group differences in terms of food neophobia, smell and texture sensitivities, and depressive symptoms.
conclusionThis study provides a first detailed analysis of ARFID in adults as a function of weight status, emphasizing its relevance for diagnosis and treatment of ARFID. Future longitudinal studies are needed to explore the role of ARFID in the development and management of higher weight. </p>.
