Higher and Lower Endorsement of Eating Disorder Symptoms Among Adolescents and Their Caregivers.
Article in European eating disorders review : the journal of the Eating Disorders Association, 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
objectiveLow symptom endorsement among adolescents with eating disorders (EDs) may pose challenges for the accurate assessment of symptoms. To better understand low symptom endorsement, the current study examined demographic and clinical characteristics associated with lower symptom endorsement among adolescents with EDs, and compared patterns of endorsement between adolescents and their caregivers.
methodTreatment-seeking adolescents (N = 629) completed measures of ED psychopathology (Eating Disorder Examination-Questionnaire; EDE-Q), depression, and anxiety at admission, and caregivers completed the Parent EDE-Q. Patients were categorised as 'higher endorsers' or 'lower endorsers' based on their EDE-Q Global score.
resultsPatients with anorexia nervosa-restricting subtype (AN-R) were more likely to be low symptom endorsers than those with AN-binge/purge subtype (AN-BP). Lower endorsers had a shorter length of stay, lower anxiety and depression symptoms at admission, and lower percent of expected body weight at admission and discharge than higher endorsers. Adolescents with AN-R exhibited more discrepancy between their report of ED symptoms and their caregivers' report than adolescents with AN-BP.
conclusionThe current study supports the importance of including multiple informants when assessing adolescents with EDs.
