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

objectiveTo examine the case for de-centering weight in the diagnosis of both anorexia nervosa (AN) and atypical anorexia nervosa (AAN).

methodWe summarized research examining the weight-based similarities and differences between AN and AAN as well as how weight is measured and discussed in research on AAN.

resultsWe suggest that weight-based differences in the diagnosis of AN and AAN may unintentionally perpetuate weight stigma experienced by individuals with AAN throughout the diagnostic and treatment processes. We extend the work of previous researchers by considering how AAN and AN might be considered as one disorder that occurs across the weight spectrum, with presentation and severity specifiers that remove a focus on BMI and enable more equitable access to care for those with AAN. DISCUSSION: We propose further examination and scholarly discussion for the conceptualization of AN and AAN as one disorder that occurs across the weight spectrum.
