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

This article outlines how one program in Iceland, the MFM program, is helping clients recover from food addiction and ultra-processed food addiction. The MFM program, founded and developed by Esther Helga Gudmundsdottir (EG), arose from her own recovery from food addiction. Seeing the gap in services for clients with food addiction and ultra-processed food addiction, EG set out to develop a treatment plan based on everything she learned over the years and through her experience and trainings.
