Hoarding Symptoms in Eating Disorders: An Observational Cross-Sectional Study.
Observational study 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 1 paper.
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
objectiveHoarding behaviors have been reported in eating disorders (EDs), particularly those characterized by binge eating; however, research on this comorbidity is scarce. This cross-sectional observational study investigated hoarding symptoms in a community-based sample of individuals with lifetime ED diagnoses (N = 5927).
methodParticipants were grouped by ED history: anorexia nervosa (AN) only, AN and another ED (AN Mixed), bulimia nervosa (BN) only, binge-eating disorder (BED) only, and both BN and BED (BN-BED). Hoarding symptoms were compared across these groups and to published data from cohorts with hoarding disorder (HD), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and nonclinical controls, using independent t tests. Logistic regression was used to examine the odds of screening positive for hoarding, and correlations assessed associations between hoarding and ED symptoms.
resultsHoarding symptoms were prominent across all ED groups. They were most prevalent in BN-BED and least prevalent in AN. The ED cohort showed lower hoarding symptoms than the HD cohort, but generally higher symptoms than the OCD cohorts. All ED groups showed significantly higher hoarding symptoms than one control cohort, with BN, BED, and BN-BED also exceeding a second control cohort. Positive correlations emerged between hoarding and ED symptoms. DISCUSSION: Individuals with EDs, especially featuring binge eating as a core symptom, appear to be at higher risk for hoarding symptoms. Screening for hoarding in ED patients could be beneficial. Further research is needed to examine the potential co-occurrence of hoarding symptoms and EDs and explore factors that may contribute to this relationship.
