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

objectiveTo predict resumption of menses (ROM) in patients with anorexia nervosa (AN).

methodFemales aged 9-17 years with AN, receiving inpatient multimodal treatment (IMT) or family-based treatment (FBT) underwent assessments at baseline, 6-month and 12-month follow-up (12FU). A menstrual questionnaire recorded date, weight and height at loss of menses (LOM) and ROM occurring up to 30 months after 12FU. A stepwise backward logistic regression analysis evaluated predictors for menstruation at 12FU.

resultsAmong 99 females (age = 14.8 ± 1.7) with AN (restrictive = 85 [86%], binge-purge = 8 [8%], atypical = 6 [6%]), and percent median body mass index (%median BMI) = 78.9 [IQR = 74.3, 82.8] undergoing IMT (n = 50) or FBT (n = 49), 66 (66.7%) had at baseline secondary amenorrhoea, 26 (26.3%) were without menarche, 5 (5.1%) had regular menses, and 2 (2.0%) used contraceptives. At 12FU, menses were present in 45 (45.5%) patients and associated with baseline menarche (OR = 6.04, p = 0.002) and higher 12FU %mBMI (OR = 1.08, p = 0.006) (R

conclusionsROM follows weight recovery. Full restoration to premorbid BMI percentile is not necessary for ROM.
