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

objectiveAnorexia nervosa (AN) is associated with high rates of comorbidities. The impact of comorbid depression-spectrum disorders (DSDs) in AN patients on the outcomes of inpatient treatment is insufficiently studied.

methodRetrospective study of youth with AN (9-18 years), admission weight < 10th body mass index (BMI) percentile, consecutively hospitalised in a child and adolescent psychiatry university department. Patients with AN+DSD as the only psychiatric comorbidity were compared with AN patients without psychiatric comorbidity (ANnoComorbidity).

resultsAmong 220 female AN inpatients (median = 15.0 years) 62 had AN+DSD versus 158 had ANnoComorbidity. Patients with AN+DSD were more likely to report childhood emotional abuse (p = 0.020), and to receive psychotropic medications (any: p < 0.001; antidepressants: p < 0.001; antipsychotics: p = 0.001). Moreover, AN+DSD had less average weekly weight gain (p = 0.012) and longer inpatient treatment (p < 0.001). Independent correlates of less average weekly weight gain included lower admission BMI z-score (p < 0.001), antipsychotic (p = 0.002) and antidepressant (p = 0.004) treatment (R

conclusionAN+DSD were hospitalised longer and gained less average weight/week compared to ANnoComorbidity. Lower admission weight, antipsychotic or antidepressant co-treatment were independently associated with less average weight gain and longer inpatient stays.
