Risk of Eating Disorders between Exercisers and Non-Exercisers among Nursing Personnel: A Cross-Sectional Analytical Study.
Article in Current health sciences journal. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundEating disorders are mental health conditions characterized by unhealthy eating behaviors that adversely affect physical and emotional well-being. This study assessed the risk of eating disorders among nursing personnel, comparing exercisers and non-exercisers, and explored associations between selected factors and eating disorder risk in both groups. METHODOLOGY: A cross-sectional analytical study was conducted among nursing personnel. The risk of eating disorders was assessed using the SCOFF Questionnaire. A total of 422 participants who met the inclusion criteria and consented to participate were included. Statistical analysis was performed using STATA version 14. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize the data, and the Chi-square test was used to assess associations, with statistical significance set at p<0.05.
resultsA total of 422 participants were included, with a mean age of 32.98±6.38 years. Among non-exercisers, 33.22% were at risk of eating disorders compared with 24.79% among exercisers. Overall, 30.81% of participants were at risk, while 69.19% had no risk. A significant association was observed between BMI and eating disorder risk among non-exercisers (p<0.001), with a higher proportion of risk among participants with BMI≥25.
conclusionThe findings suggest that eating disorder risk was associated with higher BMI and marital status among non-exercisers. Regular screening, promotion of physical activity, and education on healthy dietary practices may help improve the well-being of nursing personnel.
