Benefits of a brief, remote psychoeducation intervention in treating eating disorders: a preliminary study in a predominantly AN/BN sample.
Article in Eating and weight disorders : EWD, 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
purposeEngagement in care is particularly problematic among patients suffering from eating disorders (ED). We aimed to assess whether a brief, remote, psychoeducation (PE) intervention could facilitate engagement and/or potentiate treatment. We also aimed to study whether the acquisition of knowledge, a key aspect of PE, could relate to its efficacy.
methodsWe designed a brief, remote PE intervention, based on cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) principles and literature recommendations. Eighteen ED patients receiving the intervention in addition to treatment as usual (TAU) were compared to 17 ED patients receiving TAU only on: self-reported symptomatology and motivation, actual engagement in a treatment, as well as ED-related knowledge. Assessment times were pre-, post-, and 2 months past the intervention.
resultsWithin-group improvements in symptomatology (at follow-up) and increases in motivation (post- and follow-up) were observed in the TAU + PE group, but not in TAU. Level of knowledge and changes in motivation were identified as potential mediators of the association between the intervention and ED symptomatology.
conclusionThese preliminary findings suggest that a simple, easily accessible remote PE intervention may represent a promising adjunct to standard ED treatment. They also highlight the potential role of knowledge acquisition as a component associated with intervention-related change. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE IV: Evidence obtained from multiple time series with or without the intervention, such as case studies. Dramatic results in uncontrolled trials might also be regarded as this type of evidence.
