Quality of Life Across the Anorexia Nervosa Spectrum: A Comparative Study of Current, Weight-Restored, and Healthy Individuals.
Article in The International journal of eating disorders, 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
backgroundAnorexia nervosa (AN) is a serious mental illness that can greatly impact quality of life (QoL). While research suggests that health-related QoL is poor in current AN, limited studies have examined QoL in those recovering from AN. This study aimed to investigate health-related QoL in people with current AN, those weight-restored from AN, and healthy controls (HCs).
methodsParticipants were 15 women with current AN, 12 weight-restored women, and 15 HC women. Health-related QoL was assessed using the Assessment of Quality of Life (AQoL-8D). Group differences were analyzed using analyses of variance with a priori contrasts.
resultsThe current AN group scored significantly lower than the weight-restored AN and HC groups on the AQoL-8D subscales of independent living, mental health, happiness, relationships, and self-worth. The weight-restored AN group scored equivalently to HCs in QoL. No group differences were found for the pain subscale. DISCUSSION: Findings highlight the substantial impact of AN on QoL and the potential for QoL to improve with recovery, which could motivate treatment engagement.
