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

objectiveSelf-directed dietary restraint (i.e., outside of evidence-based weight management programs) has been associated with disordered eating in youth. This study examined associations between maladaptive facets of dietary restraint and disordered eating among youth with higher weight.

methodsParticipants (N = 529; mean age = 10.8 ± 2.08; BMI ≥ 85th percentile) self-reported dietary restraint (restraint over eating, avoidance of eating, food avoidance, desire for an empty stomach, and dietary rules) and disordered eating behaviors (i.e., objective and subjective binge eating, driven exercise, and vomiting) over the past 3 months. Network analysis estimated partial correlations between restraint factors and disordered eating behaviors.

resultsThe restraint item most strongly associated with disordered eating behaviors was "dietary rules," which was associated with "driven exercise" and "subjective binge eating." The disordered eating behavior most strongly connected to restraint was "subjective binge eating," which was positively associated with "dietary rules," "desire for an empty stomach," and "food avoidance."

conclusionsTrying to follow definite dietary rules may be associated with disordered eating behaviors in youth with higher weight. Prospective research is needed to examine causality among youth undergoing weight management interventions, which could inform screening and monitoring of restraint prior to and during weight management.
