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
objectiveParents of young people with anorexia nervosa (AN) often experience significant psychological distress, including elevated levels of anxiety and depression, as well as impaired daily functioning and low self-efficacy. This study examined changes in self-reported levels of anxiety, depression, functional impairment, and self-efficacy in parents of young people attending an intensive day treatment programme (ITP) for adolescents with AN.
methodParticipants were 71 parents of young people enrolled in ITP. Parents completed standardised outcome measures at assessment and discharge, including the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), the Work and Social Adjustment Scale (WSAS), and the General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSE).
resultsParents reported significant reductions in anxiety, depression, and functional impairment from assessment to discharge. No significant change was found in self-efficacy scores. No baseline factors for the young people of these parents predicted change in parental wellbeing or functioning.
conclusionsFindings suggest that ITP may contribute to modest but significant improvements in parents' mental health and daily functioning. These quantitative outcomes align with prior qualitative findings and highlight the potential value of structured, parent-inclusive day treatment in supporting families affected by AN.
