Eating Attitudes and Anthropometric Indices of Adult Women in Performance Dance: A Case-Control Study in Greece.

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
objectiveDancers are at an increased risk of developing eating disorders and health issues. The aim of this case-control study was to compare dietary intake, anthropometric indices and eating attitudes of adult professional dancers to their age- and sex-matched non-dancer females. 170 females (cases: n = 68, controls: n = 102) were voluntarily enroled.
methodsAnthropometric, dietary characteristics and eating attitudes were derived through standard procedures. Eating Attitudes Test (EAT-26) and Eating Disorder Examination-Questionnaire (EDE-Q) were used to assess eating attitudes.
resultsFemale dancers were more likely to have better body composition including body weight, handgrip strength and muscle mass, p < 0.05, as compared to non-dancer females. Besides, dancers had lower energy and fat intake but higher protein intake, as well as higher intake of several micronutrients (i.e., beta-carotene, vitamin D, B6, biotin, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, manganese) but lower intake of iron and zinc (p < 0.05) compared to non-dancers. After adjustments, dancers had 5% higher score on EDE-Q-Restraint, but non-dancers had higher eating concerns when energy intake was taken into consideration (b = 0.61 ± 0.29, p = 0.038).
conclusionsIt is imperative to establish strategies to prevent eating disorders in dancers who exhibit restrictive behaviours and minimise the anxiety that women experience regarding food by establishing new social norms.
