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

The reasons for exercise inventory (REI) is a self-report instrument to assess why people exercise. It is important to assess the reasons for exercise in people with an eating disorder (ED), who regularly suffer from compulsive exercise. In this study the psychometric properties of the Dutch version of the REI and differences in scores are evaluated in an ED and a community sample consisting of women. Factor analysis revealed three factors: health, appearance/weight and mood. Reliability (internal consistency, test-retest) was good. The ED sample scored significantly lower on the Health subscale and significantly higher on the appereance/weight and mood subscales than the community sample exercising for appearance/weight showed a moderately positive correlation with EDE-Q scores in both samples. The Dutch version of the REI showed promising psychometric properties that support its value for clinical and research purposes. Using three subscales may enhance research and assessment of the reasons for exercise.
