Dietary intake of women with and without eating disorder history from pregnancy to 3 years postpartum: a longitudinal analysis.
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
backgroundPregnancy and the postpartum period are vulnerable phases, particularly for women with eating disorder (ED) history. While prior nutritional research has mainly focused on pregnancy, little is known about long-term dietary patterns in this population. This study examined dietary intake in women with and without ED history from pregnancy to 3 years postpartum.
methodsA validated food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) assessed dietary intake in women with ED history (ED group, T1: active ED: n = 12, past ED: n = 12) and healthy controls (HC group, T1: n = 33). Dietary patterns, food groups, as well as macro- und micronutrient intakes were analysed during pregnancy (T1), 1 year postpartum (T2), and 3 years postpartum (T3).
resultsOmnivorous diets predominated (T1: 75.4%, T2: 73.2% T3: 74.4%), with no significant differences between groups or over time. However, women with ED history consumed fewer animal-based, energy-dense, sugar- and fat-rich foods. Nutrient intake during pregnancy was comparable between groups. Postpartum, the ED group showed lower fat intake (p = 0.027, T2) higher fiber intake (p = 0.037, T3) and lower vitamin B12 intake (p = 0.031, T3).
conclusionNutrient supply during pregnancy was comparable between groups, which is encouraging. Differences in food group consumption may reflect a greater health consciousness or residual restrictive behaviors in women with ED history. Given the known increase in ED symptoms after childbirth, these findings emphasize the need to further examine this nutritionally and psychosocially vulnerable period. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level 3.
