Psychological Treatments for Children and Adolescents With Anorexia Nervosa in South Korea: A Retrospective Study.
Article in Journal of the Korean Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, 2025. 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
Objectives: Despite the increasing prevalence of anorexia nervosa (AN) in Asia, standardized treatments are lacking in South Korea. This study examined the feasibility and effectiveness of evidence-based psychological treatments for AN in Korean children and adolescents. Methods: This retrospective study included outpatients diagnosed with AN, aged <18 years, who received either family-based treatment (FBT; n=102) or specialist supportive clinical management (SSCM; n=43). Feasibility was measured using dropout rates, and effectiveness was assessed using outcome variables, including changes in body mass index (BMI) and eating disorder (ED) pathology, using an intention-to-treat approach. Results: The mean dropout rate was 41%, and the mean BMI increase was 2.76 kg/m Conclusion: These results suggest that both FBT and SSCM are feasible and effective for Korean children and adolescents with AN. Notably, SSCM may be more effective in individuals who frequently starved. Further controlled trials are needed to examine the effectiveness and improve treatment retention by incorporating cultural considerations.
