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

purpose of reviewDisorders of gut-brain interaction (DGBI; formerly known as functional gastrointestinal disorders) are chronic gastrointestinal conditions with no objective biomarker. DGBI such as irritable bowel syndrome and functional dyspepsia are common in eating disorders (EDs) and may maintain ED behaviors including restriction and purging, but DGBI symptoms are not explicitly addressed in standard ED treatments. This review aims to summarize pharmacological, behavioral, and nutritional support interventions for DGBI that may be beneficial in managing DGBI symptoms in individuals with EDs. RECENT

findingsDGBI symptoms are common in EDs, including shape/weight-motivated EDs (e.g., anorexia nervosa) and in avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder. Theoretical work supports bi-directional risk. While evidence-based treatments for DGBI symptoms are available, there is limited research on treatment of DGBI within the context of an ED. Neuromodulator medications, brain-gut behavioral therapies (BGBTs), and nutritional support may help manage DGBI symptoms in EDs, but currently only retrospective chart reviews and case studies support this approach.  DGBI symptoms are frequently present in patients with EDs and could be an important maintaining factor for ED symptoms but further prospective research is needed. DGBI management techniques have not been well-studied in ED populations. Future research may consider adapting interventions for DGBI in ED populations.
