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

backgroundFocussed and programme-led interventions have been of increased interest in the eating disorders (EDs) field as a potential solution to barriers in accessing timely, effective treatments. Little is known about the mechanisms through which these treatments work or for whom they are most suitable.

objectiveTo identify mediators and predictors of outcome in a focused, program-led intervention for young people with EDs.

methodParticipants included young people with an ED (n = 169, female = 92.9%, M

resultsOverall, the models explained modest variance in outcomes. Results showed that increased parental self-efficacy mediated the effect of the treatment on reductions to dietary restraint, but not for BMI centile. Perceived criticism predicted the effect of the treatment on BMI centile, such that higher levels of perceived criticism were associated with less weight gain. ED-related obsessions and rituals predicted the effect of the treatment on dietary restraint, although the high correlation between these measures may limit the meaningfulness of this result. DISCUSSION: The findings support existing research in traditional treatments highlighting the benefits of empowering parental self-efficacy to progress ED recovery; it highlights the need for supporting families with high expressed emotion.
