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
introductionAnxiety around mealtime continuous to hinder nutritional rehabilitation even after significant weight restoration which undermines recovery with pharmacological and psychological treatments proving to be of little effectiveness. This study explored the anxiolytic effects of wearing a warming vest either during lunchtimes or postlunch rest in comparison to treatment as usual in a sample of AN adolescent patients during nutritional rehabilitation.
method14 consecutive inpatients at a Child and Adolescence Mental Health Unit underwent each of the 3 conditions at lunchtime in random order and separated by 2 days: Treatment as usual, wearing heating vest during lunch time, and wearing heating vest during first 30 min of rest time.
resultsAccording to median prelunch anxiety, half of the sample were classified as a High prelunch anxiety group (HPA), while the remaining 7 were classified as a Low prelunch anxiety group (LPA). Wearing the heating vest either during lunch time or during the 30 min lunch rest significantly decreased patient anxiety in the HPA group, but no differences were in observed in the LPA patients.
conclusionThese results corroborated prior reports of the anxiolytic effect of warming during lunch rest and extend this anxiolytic effect of warming to lunchtime.
