The association between childhood traumatic events and weight restoration in adult anorexia nervosa inpatient treatment: a longitudinal study.
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
purposeTo examine the association between childhood traumatic events and weight restoration during specialized inpatient treatment for anorexia nervosa (AN).
methodsWithin this naturalistic prospective exploratory single-center study, patients with AN were recruited between 2014 and 2019 from a specialized eating disorder inpatient unit. Childhood traumatic events were assessed using the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire Short Form (CTQ-SF) and the Adverse Childhood Experiences Questionnaire (ACE). Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) was diagnosed via a clinical interview. A mixed linear model was used to analyze associations between childhood traumatic events and weight restoration, while adjusting for the confounders AN subtype, medication, psychological comorbidities, gender and age.
resultsSixty patients with AN (mean age 24.60 years, SD = 7.60; 95% female; 77% restricting subtype) participated. The mean body mass index (BMI) increase after 12 weeks was 2.48 kg/m
conclusionIn our sample childhood traumatic events were not associated with weight restoration during inpatient treatment for AN. Given the low prevalence of childhood traumatic events in the present sample, further studies are recommended to explore the potential impact of childhood traumatic events on weight restoration in AN to optimize clinical outcomes. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level III: evidence obtained from well-designed cohort or case-control analytic studies.
