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

objectiveTelehealth services have become part of many eating disorder (ED) treatment settings; yet, few studies have examined the effectiveness of family-based treatment (FBT) delivered via telehealth. This study compared in-person and telehealth FBT in rates of weight restoration, treatment completion, and metrics of treatment progress, and explored potential moderators of these outcomes.

methodRetrospective chart review identified 169 adolescents (10-18 years) with restrictive EDs who received FBT in person before the COVID-19 pandemic (n = 92) or via telehealth during the pandemic (n = 77). Regression models examined the effect of FBT format, controlling for baseline percent of expected body weight (%EBW). Zip code-based geospatial analyses compared the distance each format reached.

resultsTreatment format (in-person versus telehealth) did not predict whether patients were weight restored to ≥ 95% of EBW at the end of treatment (OR = 0.74) or completed treatment (ORs = 0.53-1.74). Older age predicted lower odds of treatment completion among in-person but not telehealth patients; there was no moderating effect of age on weight restoration or of baseline %EBW on either outcome. Patients who received FBT via telehealth were less likely to be early responders (i.e., gained 2.3 kg by session four; OR = 0.33). FBT format did not predict the number of sessions to 95% EBW (f DISCUSSION: Results suggest no significant differences between telehealth and in-person FBT in restoring weight or preventing hospitalization for adolescents with restrictive EDs, and support continued use of telehealth FBT to improve treatment accessibility and scalability. Additional research using a randomized design and ED psychopathology measures is needed.
