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

backgroundSevere anorexia nervosa can result in life-threatening systemic complications. However, arterial rupture in the context of anorexia nervosa has not been reported. CASE REPORT: A 31-year-old woman who had developed anorexia nervosa in her early teens and had extreme malnutrition with a body mass index of 8.5 kg/m

conclusionsThis case highlights a previously unreported and fatal vascular complication of anorexia nervosa. Extreme malnutrition may cause vascular fragility, increasing the risk of arterial rupture due to structural collapse of the vessel wall. Clinicians should be aware of this rare but life-threatening complication when treating patients with severe anorexia nervosa. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level V, case report.
