"The credential did make a difference": eating disorder treatment with ANZAED credentialed clinicians: carer perspectives.
Article in Journal of eating disorders, 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
backgroundThe Australia & New Zealand Academy for Eating Disorders (ANZAED) has developed the Credential that recognises the qualifications, knowledge and professional development training, including continuing professional development (CPD), that comprise the minimum standard for the safe and effective delivery of treatment for an eating disorder. The current study sought to explore whether the anticipated benefits have translated into positive eating disorder treatment experiences with credentialed clinicians from carers' perspectives.
methodsThirteen carers of people living with an eating disorder (ED) were interviewed about their perceptions and experiences of ED treatment from clinicians awarded the ANZAED Eating Disorder Credential. Semi-structured interview transcripts were analysed with an inductive thematic analysis.
resultsThree main themes with embedded subthemes were generated. Theme one explored treatment experiences prior to the launch of the Credential in November 2021. Theme two captured carers' attitudes and perceptions of the Credential, including perceived benefits, other priorities, and suggestions for further improvement. The final theme explored carers' treatment experiences with credentialed clinicians that were related to greater perceived knowledge and understanding and experiences of personalised therapeutic approaches to care.
conclusionsThese findings hold important implications for future considerations of credentialing of ED clinicians and proposals for refinements of the ANZAED Eating Disorder Credential. Carers perceived the Credential to enhance quality of care and support, however, many noted that broader systemic issues were limiting its reach. Further efforts are needed to increase awareness and facilitate access to credentialed clinicians through key referral pathways.
