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
objectiveEating disorder focused family therapy (FT-ED) is the leading outpatient intervention for adolescents with Anorexia Nervosa. Autistic people report poorer eating disorder treatment experiences and may be at increased risk of inpatient admissions. There is a need to consider adaptions to eating disorder treatment for this population. The aim of this study is to explore the experiences of clinicians in the delivery of FT-ED for Autistic young people with Anorexia Nervosa and any adaptations currently being implemented.
methodFT-ED trained clinicians who had experience of delivering this modality with young Autistic people and their families, were invited to take part in interviews. Transcripts were analysed using Reflexive Thematic Analysis.
resultsEleven clinicians completed interviews and analysis generated four themes and eight subthemes: (1) Systemic context, (2) Raising potential autism, (3) Autism eating disorders crossover, (4) Manual versus adaptations.
conclusionsThis paper is the first exploration of clinician's experience delivering FT-ED to Autistic young people and their families and highlighted unique considerations with this population. It is an initial step to consider adaptations to the FT-ED model, with the aim of making eating disorder treatments more effective, accessible and acceptable for Autistic young people and their families.
