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
purposeApproximately 27% of patients with an eating disorder (ED) present with comorbid non-suicidal self-injurious behaviors (NSSI). EDs comorbid with NSSI display worse eating psychopathology and overall psychological distress. This follow-up study aims to compare the clinical and psychopathological characteristics at the time of hospital admission and the long-term outcome of patients with and without comorbid NSSI.
methods73 adolescents affected with an ED were included in the study and divided into two groups depending on the comorbidity with NSSI. Clinical and anamnestic data, personality traits, social, emotional and behavioral functioning, and eating psychopathology were collected. A comparison was made between the NSSI group and the non-NSSI group on clinical and psychopathological characteristics. After a 5-year follow-up, participants were interviewed with a structured interview to investigate the history of AN and NSSI, and they completed questionnaires for the self-assessment.
resultsSpecific personality traits like low Cooperativeness and low levels of Reward Dependence, greater impairment of behavioral and emotional functioning, and worse eating psychopathology characterized AN participants with NSSI. The 5-year outcome was less favorable in participants with a history of NSSI with a remission rate 77.7% in participants with AN alone and of 21% in participants with NSSI.
conclusionsThe differences between subgroups highlight the need to investigate NSSI at the initial clinical evaluation of adolescents who come to observation for an ED. Clinical and psychopathological characteristics of AN with comorbid NSSI require more intensive care and tailored therapeutic approaches to improve the long-term outcome, promoting recovery and improving quality of life. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE III: Evidence obtained from well-designed cohort or case-control analytic studies.
