Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (REDs): Risk Assessment in Collegiate Female Athletes.
Article in International journal of exercise science, 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
Alterations in energy intake (EI) and exercise energy expenditure (EEE) may increase low energy availability (LEA) risk in Division II female collegiate athletes. Chronic LEA can transition to problematic LEA, leading to Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (REDs). The purpose of this study was to assess the current severity and prevalence of REDs using the REDs Clinical Assessment Tool 2 (CAT2) and the Female Athlete Triad Cumulative Risk Assessment tool (FAT CRA) in Division II collegiate female ball sport athletes. Twenty-seven female athletes (volleyball, soccer, basketball, and rugby) at Central Washington University were included. Participants reported demographics; history of injuries, depression, and eating disorders (EDs); Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire (EDE-Q), Low Energy Availability in Females Questionnaire (LEAF-Q) and dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) of the lumbar spine, hips, and whole body to determine REDs risk using the REDs CAT2 Tool and Triad risk using the FAT CRA. 85.2% (n=23) of athletes had no or low risk of REDs, while 15% (n=4) had a mild risk. An elevated EDE-Q score had a higher prevalence in the yellow group (
