Italian Validation of the Accommodation and Enabling Scale for Eating Disorders and Caregiver Skills Scale for Caregivers of Patients With Eating Disorders.
Article in International journal of methods in psychiatric research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
objectivesEating disorders (ED) impact caregivers' lives, affecting their mental health and the entire family system. Caregivers often tend to accommodate ED behaviors, structuring family life around ED pathology. Both high levels of accommodating behaviors and low caregiver skills were associated with poor patient outcomes, thereby fostering the maintenance of the ED pathology. The current study's objectives were to translate the AESED and CASK scales into Italian and assess both self-report instruments' psychometric properties.
methodsWe enrolled 167 caregivers of ED outpatients who approached the Regional Center for Eating Disorders (ED) at the University Hospital of Verona. A battery of self-report instruments was administered two times 1 week apart.
resultsData analysis highlighted an internal structure based on 5 factors for the AESED and confirmed the 6-factor internal structure of CASK. The AESED subscales' internal consistency ranged from 0.74 to 0.86, while CASK's internal consistency ranged from 0.62 to 0.80. For both the AESED and CASK subscales, the test-retest reliability was satisfactory.
conclusionsThe results demonstrated adequate psychometric properties of the Italian versions of the AESED and CASK scales, which are useful for assessing the accommodation and enabling behaviors and skills of caregivers of ED patients in the Italian context.
