Eating disorders among college students in China: prevalence, correlates, and its relationship with suicide risk.
Article in Journal of eating disorders, 2026. 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 (EDs) are prevalent among college students and may lead to severe consequences. This study aimed to examine the prevalence and correlates of EDs among Chinese college students and to investigate the relationship between EDs and suicide risk.
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted among 18,578 Chinese college students between October 17 and 29, 2023. Participants completed questionnaires assessing demographic characteristics, EDs, depression, anxiety, and suicide risk. Logistic regression analyses were performed to identify factors associated with EDs in the total sample, as well as factors associated with suicide risk among participants with EDs.
resultsThe prevalence of EDs was 13.6% among Chinese college students. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that body mass index, urban or town residence, left-behind experiences, maternal education at the senior high school level or above, depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, and suicide attempts were independent correlates of EDs. Among participants with EDs, 19.5% reported suicidal ideation or suicide attempts. Variables such as age, left-behind experiences, chronic physical illness, family history of mental disorders, depression, and anxiety were independently associated with suicide risk.
conclusionEDs are prevalent among college populations and are associated with suicide risk. Therefore, it is imperative to specifically monitor suicide risk among individuals with EDs. Intervention strategies should focus on co-occurring depressive and anxiety symptoms to decrease suicidality in affected individuals.
