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

Background: Orthorexia nervosa (ON) has gained increasing attention as a maladaptive pattern of rigid health-oriented eating characterized by cognitive preoccupation, behavioral restriction, and functional impairment. The Orthorexia Nervosa Inventory (ONI) was developed as a multidimensional instrument to assess orthorexic tendencies; however, further cross-cultural validations are needed to ensure its applicability across different linguistic and cultural contexts. Objective: To translate, culturally adapt, and evaluate the psychometric properties of the Spanish version of the Orthorexia Nervosa Inventory (ONI-ES) in a general adult population in Spain. Methods: A two-phase validation study was conducted. Phase 1 involved forward-backward translation and expert panel evaluation to assess content validity using Aiken's V coefficient. Phase 2 examined construct validity and reliability in two independent samples (EFA: Results: All items demonstrated adequate content validity (Aiken's V range: 0.71-0.96). EFA supported a three-factor structure-orthorexic behaviors, emotional attitudes toward food, and social/functional impairment-accounting for 41.9% of the total variance. CFA confirmed the adequacy of the three-factor model (CFI = 0.905; TLI = 0.891; RMSEA = 0.066). The ONI-ES showed excellent internal consistency ( Conclusion: The ONI-ES demonstrates solid psychometric properties and replicates the original three-factor structure in a Spanish general population. These findings support its reliability, structural validity, and cross-cultural applicability as a multidimensional measure of orthorexic symptomatology.
