Reflections on Using the Eating Disorders Examination to Assess Eating Disorder Pathology in Queer Men.

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
objectiveQueer men face potent appearance-related pressures that exacerbate their eating disorder risk. While the Eating Disorder Examination (EDE) is a widely used eating disorder assessment, queer men may experience unique motivations for disordered eating that may impact its administration in this population. To generate practical guidance for clinicians and researchers using the EDE, we qualitatively examined reflections from interviewers who administered the EDE to queer men.
methodThirteen provisionally or generally registered psychologists administered the EDE to 179 queer men (M
resultsInterviewers noted that stringent norms around appearance, dieting, and exercise among queer men impaired men's insight into the harm caused by disordered behaviors, despite marked distress, and/or impairment. Usefully, interviewers noted the EDE helped men to gain insight into their disordered behaviors. Interviewers noticed that norms around dieting skewed what some participants perceived to be a "large" amount of food-this was useful context for interviewers to consider when distinguishing subjective from objective bulimic episodes. DISCUSSION: Interviewers administering the EDE to queer men should be cognizant of subcultural appearance-related pressures that may lead queer men to underreport impairment or to misjudge instances of their own overeating. Having this knowledge ahead of administering the EDE can equip interviewers to deliver this assessment accurately.
