Psychometric characteristics of DSM-5 eating disorder diagnostic criteria: support for a transdiagnostic approach.
Article in Journal of eating disorders, 2026. 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
This study is the first to comprehensively examine psychometric characteristics of the three main DSM-5 eating disorder (ED) diagnoses (Anorexia Nervosa (AN), Bulimia Nervosa (BN), Binge Eating Disorder (BED)) amongst adult ED patients. Data was collected via an online survey from 126 licensed therapists treating an adult with an ED. Therapists provided an ED DSM-5 diagnosis for a randomly selected patient, as well as endorsed the presence of symptoms from a list of DSM criteria. Criteria endorsement varied across both the entire sample and within diagnoses. Convergence and cohesion also varied within diagnoses. The first factor analysis for DSM-5 ED criteria yielded a five-factor solution for ED criteria accounted for 78.3% of variance: (1) Binge eating, (2) Compensatory and purging behaviors, (3) Shape/weight overvaluation, (4) Drive for thinness, and (5) Absence of binging and purging. Finally, diagnostic efficiency statistics were consistent with this factor model. Overall, our findings support a new, transdiagnostic model with fear of weight gain and weight being main aspects of self-evaluation as common underlying factors amongst all EDs.
