Network analysis of eating disorders (NAMED): an exploratory study of symptom configuration at different stages of illness.
Article in Journal of eating disorders, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundEating disorders represent a complex category of conditions, characterized by dysfunctional thoughts and behaviours about food and body weight or shape, heterogeneous clinical presentations, diagnostic migration and comorbidity. Such complexity highlights the limitations of conventional classification systems, which overlook clinically relevant eating-disorder characteristics such as illness progression. The clinimetric staging model presents an alternative conceptualization that may help differentiate stages of eating-disorder illness by focusing on clinically-relevant but often neglected illness characteristics and comorbidities. A novel statistical approach, namely network analysis, may facilitate the identification of specific eating-disorder stages. Network analysis has been widely applied to model psychiatric conditions as networks of interacting symptoms; this approach is particularly useful for examining the complexity of eating disorders.
methodsThis study applied network analysis to explore the characteristics of eating disorders across healthy, at-risk, acute, and clinical populations by modelling symptom networks and comparing their structures.
resultsThe findings reveal that clinically-significant eating disorder manifestations extend beyond eating-related symptoms and body weight or shape cognitions. In particular, the results underscore the importance of well-being and transdiagnostic dimensions in various populations, excluding clinical groups where symptoms of eating disorders predominate.
conclusionsDespite the intricacies of establishing a full staging model for eating disorders, the results obtained provide relevant information regarding clinical manifestations of eating disorders at different levels symptom intensity. This supports not only the development of a more refined staging model for these conditions, but also provides potential prevention and clinical targets for stage-specific interventions.
