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
backgroundTo investigate the effects of emotion-focused therapy (EFT) on weight restoration and emotion regulation in adolescents with anorexia nervosa (AN).
methodsThis retrospective study included 188 adolescents with AN treated at Chongqing Mental Health Center between January 2023 and December 2025. According to treatment methods, patients were divided into a control group and an EFT group. After screening based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, 60 patients in each group were included in the final analysis. The control group received routine nutritional support, cognitive behavioral therapy, and medication when necessary, while the EFT group additionally received EFT. Both groups were treated for 12 weeks. Body mass index (BMI), nutritional indicators, Eating Attitudes Test-26 (EAT-26), Trait Meta-Mood Scale (TMMS), Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7), and Children's Depression Inventory-2 (CDI-2) scores were compared between the two groups. Safety outcomes were retrospectively collected from electronic medical records. Multiple linear regression analysis was performed to evaluate the independent association between EFT and BMI improvement.
resultsAfter 12 weeks of treatment, BMI and nutritional indicators in the EFT group were higher than those in the control group, while the EAT-26 scores were significantly lower (all
conclusionsEFT combined with routine nutritional support and psychotherapy may be associated with improved weight restoration, emotional regulation, nutritional status, and reduced anxiety and depressive symptoms in adolescents with AN. However, due to the retrospective single-center design and limited sample size, further prospective studies are warranted to confirm these findings.
