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

Weight gain is instrumental in recovery from anorexia nervosa (AN)/atypical AN, yet the effect of premorbid weight status on treatment-related weight gain is unclear. In 71 medically hospitalized adolescents with AN/atypical AN, relative weight gain, measured via change in BMI z-scores, was assessed over 12-months of outpatient treatment following hospitalization and compared for premorbid weight status. Patients with premorbid overweight/obesity had a longer illness duration (p = .03) and more weight loss (p < .001) than patients with premorbid normal weight, and less weight gain at 3-, 6-, 9-, and 12-months post-discharge (all p's ≤ .01). Premorbid weight status was not associated with treatment dropout, medical readmissions, psychiatric hospitalizations, or psychotropic medication use (all p's > .05). Findings tentatively suggest that inpatients with AN/atypical AN and premorbid overweight/obesity gain less weight in the 12-months post hospitalization, despite similar illness severity indicators. Rigorous prospective studies are needed to solidify factors underlying these trends.
