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
backgroundThere is ample evidence on the efficacy of different therapeutic approaches in treating eating disorders. Yet, studies on the effectiveness of inpatient/day-hospital treatment of eating disorders are rare.
methodData were retrieved from a naturalistic multi-center effectiveness study of inpatient and day-hospital treatment in departments of psychosomatic medicine and psychotherapy in Germany (MEPP). N = 151 patients with Anorexia Nervosa (AN) and atypical AN, as well as n = 120 patients with Bulimia Nervosa (BN) and atypical BN were included. Eating disorder pathology (EDE-Q) and BMI were assessed on admission, at discharge, and 1 year after discharge. Changes over time were analysed in both outcomes. Treatment success was assessed individually using reliable change (RC) indices. Regression analyses were used to identify predictors of RC.
resultsEDE-Q scores decreased in both patient groups. One year after discharge, RC was estimated in 33.8% of patients with AN and 43.3% of patients with BN. 24.2% of patients with AN and 54.3% with BN showed partial remission. DISCUSSION: Results from this multi-center effectiveness study are comparable to those of former national and European studies. Based on the results of individual treatment success, recommendations for inpatient/day-hospital treatment can be derived.
