Development and Validation of the Resilience in Eating Disorders Scale (RED-5).
Article in Actas espanolas de psiquiatria, 2026. 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
backgroundA resilience scale tailored for individuals with eating disorders (EDs) could significantly enhance our understanding and treatment of EDs. Therefore, we developed and psychometrically evaluated a new Resilience in Eating Disorders scale (RED) following COnsensus-based Standards for the selection of health Measurement INstruments (COSMIN) guidelines.
methodInformed by prior qualitative interviews, the new RED scale underwent an initial pilot test among patients with EDs (n = 52) and field tests among patients with EDs (n = 169), ED-recovered individuals (n = 61), and a normative sample of the general population (n = 349), all aged between 27.9 and 29.8 years and residing in Spain. In this study, the participants completed the RED scale, Resilience Scale-25 (RS-25), Eating Attitudes Test-26 (EAT-26), World Health Organisation Quality of Life Scale - Brief Version (WHOQOL-BREF), and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). Data were collected at baseline and after 1 year. Alongside machine learning techniques, exploratory and confirmatory analyses were employed to evaluate the reliability, construct validity, convergent validity, known-groups validity, predictive validity and responsiveness of the RED scale.
resultsThe original 52-item version of the RED scale was refined to 44 items following the pilot phase, and ultimately reduced to a 5-item version (RED-5) after field testing and psychometric evaluation. The RED-5 demonstrated strong psychometric properties, with excellent model fit indices (Root Mean Square Error of Approximation (RMSEA) = 0.03, and Comparative Fit Index (CFI) = 0.99) and acceptable internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha = 0.71). Additionally, the RED-5 scale effectively predicted quality of life, anxiety, depression, and ED symptomatology over a 1-year period.
conclusionsThe RED-5 is a concise, psychometrically robust scale specifically developed to assess resilience in patients with EDs. It significantly predicts ED symptoms and quality-of-life outcomes, making it a valuable tool for both clinical practice and research. The RED-5 allows for quick administration and easy scoring. It provides mental health professionals with a tool to guide resilience-informed assessment and more personalized treatment planning.
