Is dieting a double-edged sword? Orthorexia in celiac disease.
Article in BMC psychiatry, 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
objectiveCeliac disease (CD) is a systemic autoimmune disorder requiring lifelong gluten exclusion, which may inadvertently foster disordered eating patterns. This study examined orthorexic traits in patients with CD and explored its association with anxiety and depressive symptoms. METHODS AND MEASURES: A cross-sectional study included 156 biopsy-confirmed patients with CD and 182 controls. Assessments included the Orthorexia Nervosa Inventory (ONI), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), and Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI).
resultsOf the 338 participants, 255 were female (75.4%). ONI total score and all ONI subscale scores (behaviors, emotions, and impairments) were significantly higher in the CD group. Similarly, BDI and BAI scores were significantly higher in the CD group. ONI total scores showed a significant positive correlation with BDI (r = 0.38; p < 0.001) and BAI scores (r = 0.42; p < 0.001). In hierarchical regression analyses, CD status emerged as the strongest predictor of orthorexic traits, while anxiety symptoms and age remained significant independent predictors.
conclusionOrthorexic traits were significantly higher in individuals with CD and were associated with increased psychological distress. These findings suggest that the rigid dietary requirements of CD management may be associated with orthorexic tendencies in some individuals, highlighting the importance of integrating nutritional and psychological support into routine clinical follow-up. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
