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

objectiveThis study investigated the clinical features and personality traits of pediatric and adult patients with avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID) and anorexia nervosa-restricting type (RAN) in a Korean hospital cohort, and the distinct characteristics of ARFID in a non-Western sample.

methodsThis retrospective cohort study included 392 Korean outpatients with ARFID (n=68) or RAN (n=324) at an eating disorders clinic. Clinical characteristics including eating and general psychopathology, and personality traits based on the five-factor model and behavior inhibition/activation systems were assessed. The eating and general psychopathology and personality traits of pediatric and adult patients with ARFID were retrospectively investigated alongside those of pediatric and adult RAN patients.

resultsPatients with ARFID had an earlier onset age, a longer illness duration, and lower levels of eating and general psychopathology compared to those with RAN. ARFID patients also reported lower levels of neuroticism and behavioral inhibition. Pediatric ARFID patients showed less severe general psychopathology than adult patients with ARFID, while personality traits were consistent across age groups. However, pediatric RAN patients demonstrated higher dietary restraint and lower levels of general psychopathology compared to adult patients.

conclusionThis study highlights distinct psychopathology and personality traits between ARFID and RAN. These findings emphasize the importance of age-specific interventions for ARFID. Compared to pediatric patients, adult patients with ARFID require interventions targeting psychological difficulties. The results underscore the need to improve recognition of ARFID in Korea.
