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

This paper aims to review the current literature on the prevalence of eating disorders (EDs) and their manifestations in individuals with physical disabilities (IWPD). To do this, we performed a comprehensive search of PubMed and identified 631 articles that were potentially relevant to this study. Following a title, abstract, and full-text review, 48 articles were selected. Among the 48 articles included in this review, demographics which were assessed included individuals with spina bifida, cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, stroke, and athletes with disabilities. These articles were primarily case reports or cross-sectional studies that discussed anorexia nervosa, bulimia, binge eating, food addiction, pica, and sleep-related eating disorders. Upon further analysis of these articles, we conclude eating disorders and disordered eating behaviors are prevalent among individuals with physical disabilities though different disabilities often exhibit different EDs originating from different etiologies.
