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

backgroundEngaging adolescents in treatment for eating disorders presents a significant challenge due to the egosyntonic nature of these conditions and the ambivalence toward change. MAIN TEXT: The adolescent version of Enhanced Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT-E) prioritizes active patient involvement to foster engagement and long-term commitment to recovery. This treatment employs a structured yet flexible approach to enhance patient engagement. Key strategies include adopting a supportive and collaborative stance, explaining the distinction between the disease model and the psychological CBT-E model, actively involving patients in the decision to change, agreeing on specific homework assignments between sessions, and engaging parents as supportive "helpers." This engagement-focused approach encourages adolescents to take ownership of their recovery. By personalizing interventions and fostering adolescents' active role in understanding the psychological maintaining processes of their eating disorder, deciding to address them, and navigating the process of change, CBT-E empowers them to move toward recovery with increasing independence. Parental involvement is carefully structured to provide support without undermining the adolescent's sense of agency.

conclusionsFuture research should further evaluate engagement-focused adaptations of CBT-E and their impact on long-term treatment outcomes.
