Comparison of young Japanese underweight women with eating disorder tendencies and constitutional thinness: A cross-sectional study.
Article in Preventive medicine reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Objective: To compare eating disorder tendencies and constitutional thinness in young underweight Japanese women and identify distinguishing factors. Methods: In September 2024, 1000 young Japanese women were recruited and categorized into three groups based on body mass index (BMI) and responses to the Sick, Control, One Stone, Fat, and Food (SCOFF) questionnaire: eating disorder tendency (BMI <18.5 kg/m Result: The eating disorder tendency group idealized a thinner body shape than the constitutional thinness group and reported greater dissatisfaction with their body shape; however, body dissatisfaction was highest in the control group. General health habits were similar between the constitutional thinness and control groups. Among underweight women, significant predictors of eating disorder tendency included history of anemia (odds ratio [OR]: 4.27; 95 % confidence interval [CI]: 2.13-8.56), daily physical activity (OR: 3.46; 95 % CI: 1.78-6.74), and eating before bedtime (OR: 2.44; 95 % CI: 1.16-5.15). Conclusions: General health habits differ between underweight women with and without eating disorder tendencies. A history of anemia may serve as a potential indicator for screening for eating disorders.
