Adolescent anorexia nervosa treated in primary care with a family-based method - long-term outcomes.
Article in Scandinavian journal of primary health care, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundAnorexia nervosa is a potentially lethal psychiatric disorder characterised by restrictive eating and weight loss. Adolescent patients were treated as outpatients using a novel method which involved coaching the parents to take full responsibility for their child's nutrition. In this follow-up cohort study, we compared the long-term outcomes of patients treated in primary care using the family-based coaching method (FBcM-PC) with those treated in tertiary care using traditional treatment.
methodsThe cohort included all adolescent patients with a restrictive eating disorder treated initially in Oulu University Hospital and/or Oulu Primary Health Care centre between 2013 and 2019. Patients (
resultsUpon follow-up after a mean of 6.6 years, 77% of the FBcM-PC and 54% of the traditional treatment groups did not need medical appointments (
conclusionAdolescent anorexia nervosa patients treated mainly in primary care had at least as favourable long-term outcomes as those treated in tertiary care. The results of this study encourage further development of outpatient treatment methods in primary care.
