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
Background: Emotional hyporexia, a form of intentional food avoidance triggered by emotional distress, presents a growing health concern among adolescent girls. Addressing this behavior through psychological intervention is essential for preventing long-term health complications. Aim: This pilot study evaluated the effectiveness of Emotion-Focused Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (EFCBT) in reducing emotional hyporexia among adolescent girls experiencing eating-related problems. Materials and Methods: A quasi-experimental design was adopted, involving 40 adolescent girls aged 16-18 years, equally divided into experimental ( Results: Post-intervention analysis revealed a statistically significant reduction in emotional hyporexia scores within the experimental group (mean pre-test: 54.04 ± 10.56; post-test: 22.2 ± 3.58; Conclusion: Emotion-Focused Cognitive Behaviour Therapy appears to be a promising intervention for reducing emotional hyporexia among adolescent girls. Further large-scale randomized controlled trials are recommended to validate these preliminary findings.
