A Multi-Site Study of Brief Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy for Eating Disorders for Individuals With BMI ≥ 30.
Observational study in European eating disorders review : the journal of the Eating Disorders Association, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectiveCognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) for eating disorders (EDs) has raised concerns of appropriateness for patients in higher-weight bodies. We evaluated acceptability (Sample 1-United States [USA]) and effectiveness (Sample 1-USA, Sample 2-United Kingdom [UK]) of CBT-T by body mass index [BMI] category. We hypothesised that individuals with BMI ≥ 30 kg/m
methodsParticipants with non-underweight EDs (USA: n = 63; UK: n = 58) received CBT-T and completed the ED-15 to evaluate change in behaviours (objective binge eating, purging, restriction, excessive exercise) and cognitions (Eating Concern, Weight/Shape Concern, Global Score).
resultsContrary to hypotheses, CBT-T completion did not differ by BMI category. Participants demonstrated large and significant reductions in binge eating, excessive exercise, and ED cognitions, with no significant differences by BMI (USA, UK). Although the BMI ≥ 30 kg/m DISCUSSION: Results from this exploratory multisite study found no evidence that CBT-T was less acceptable or effective for participants in higher-weight bodies.
