1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

objectiveCaregivers of individuals with eating disorders (ED) frequently experience psychological distress, expressed emotion, and accommodation behaviours, contributing to caregiver burden. The New Maudsley Model (NMM) is a structured intervention designed to improve caregivers' emotional regulation, communication, and coping strategies. This study examined changes in caregiver burden associated with participation in NMM workshops and explored the temporal relationship between psychological distress and ED symptom impact.

methodA total of 447 caregivers participated, with 189 completing baseline and post-intervention assessments, including psychological distress (DASS-21), accommodation (AESED), expressed emotion (FQ), and ED symptom impact (EDSIS). Linear mixed models and structured equation modelling (SEM) were computed for longitudinal analyses.

resultsSignificant reductions were observed in anxiety, expressed emotion, accommodation, and ED symptom impact, following NMM workshops. Higher baseline psychological distress was associated with larger subsequent reductions in distress over time, while ED symptom impact was less modifiable over time, appearing influenced by family dynamics. Baseline ED symptom impact was associated with subsequent changes in caregiver distress. DISCUSSION: These findings highlight the potential clinical utility of NMM workshops within standard ED care, emphasising the need to target caregiver beliefs, emotional responses, and coping behaviours to improve caregiver's well-being and possibly support better ED outcomes.
