Masticatory performance and masticatory behavior in individuals with eating disorders: a pilot study.
Article in Frontiers in oral health, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Aim: The brief report aims to evaluate masticatory performance and components of chewing behavior in people with anorexia nervosa and compare it with a reference group of individuals with no history of eating disorders. Material and methods: Eighteen women participated in the study: nine with anorexia nervosa (age 20.2 ± 5.9) and nine as controls in a reference group without anorexia nervosa (age 23.6 ± 0.9). Masticatory performance was assessed with a food comminution test. The participants also ate (chewed and swallowed) a second test food while their jaw movements were recorded to evaluate their chewing behavior. The number of comminuted pieces during the food comminution test, chewing cycles, chewing duration, and components like occlusal, and jaw opening/closing duration, were evaluated. Results: In comparison to the reference group the anorexia nervosa patients performed poorly in the food comminution test ( Conclusion: Overall, the results of the study indicate that the anorexia nervosa group shows signs of poor masticatory performance and altered chewing behavior compared to the reference group of individuals with no history of eating disorders.
