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

Eating disorders are a growing concern in adolescent mental health globally, including in middle-income countries. Understanding risk factors across developmental stages is crucial for effective prevention and intervention. This study examined how body mass index (BMI), body dissatisfaction (BD), and anxiety contribute to binge eating (BE) and eating disorder (ED) psychopathology in Malaysian female adolescents and young adults, and to investigate BE as a potential mediator. Sample 1 of 398 16-year-old girls and Sample 2 of 169 female university students, aged 18-25 (M
