Taking care of the body to cure the mind: family-based therapies as attachment-based programs for adolescents with Anorexia Nervosa.
Article in Frontiers in psychology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Anorexia Nervosa (AN) is a severe psychiatric disorder that typically emerges in adolescence and presents a high risk of medical complications and mortality. Early, family-centered interventions are critical in reducing both physical and psychological impairments associated with the illness. This article explores the clinical integration of Family-Based Treatment (FBT) with attachment-informed parenting interventions, particularly Circle of Security-Parenting (CoS-P). We argue that FBT can be conceptualized not only as a behavioral protocol for weight restoration but also as a structured framework for enhancing parental caregiving functions and emotional attunement. Drawing on developmental psychopathology and interpersonal motivational systems theory, we examine how FBT's emphasis on externalization, parental empowerment, and family meals can be enriched through attachment-based strategies such as video feedback, emotional regulation, and reflective parenting. This integration offers a comprehensive treatment model aimed at restoring the adolescent's developmental trajectory by supporting both embodied recovery and psychological growth within the family system.
