Enhanced Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Young Adolescents with Anorexia Nervosa: Identifying Predictors of Treatment Response.
Article in Nutrients, 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
(1) Background: This study aimed to identify baseline demographic, clinical, and psychosocial predictors of treatment response in adolescents with anorexia nervosa (AN) undergoing an intensive 20-week enhanced cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT-E) program, which included inpatient and day patient phases. Treatment outcomes were assessed at the end of intensive treatment (EOIT) and at a 20-week follow-up. (2) Methods: A prospective cohort of 68 adolescents under the age of 16 consecutively admitted to intensive CBT-E was evaluated. Baseline measures included body mass index (BMI)-for-age percentiles, percentage of expected body weight (%EBW), eating disorder psychopathology (EDE-Q), general psychopathology, and functional impairment. (3) Results: Of those who began treatment, 83.4% completed the program and 70.2% were available for follow-up assessment. Based on intent-to-treat analysis, 94.1% achieved a "good BMI outcome" and 73.5% met criteria for "full response" at EOIT. At follow-up, 64.7% maintained a good BMI and 55.9% sustained a full response. Completers' analysis indicated that baseline body weight, clinical impairment, general psychopathology, and weight regain influenced treatment outcomes. However, no baseline demographic or clinical variables predicted treatment completion or outcome at either time point at intention-to-treat analysis, except that younger age at admission was linked to higher eating disorder psychopathology at follow-up. (4) Conclusions: In treatment completers, certain baseline clinical factors and weight regain influenced outcomes, while in the full sample, younger age predicted greater residual psychopathology at follow-up. These findings, if confirmed, emphasize the need for early intervention, focused support for weight regain, and potential adaptations of CBT-E for early adolescents.
