Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis: Examining the Psychometric Evaluations of Disordered Eating Scales in Adults Living With Gastrointestinal Conditions.
Synthesis in Neurogastroenterology and motility, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled it.
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
backgroundThe scales used to assess disordered eating are often not validated in adults living with gastrointestinal conditions (i.e., gastrointestinal populations). This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to examine the psychometric evaluations (i.e., assessments of reliability and validity) of disordered eating scales in adult gastrointestinal populations and quantify the prevalence of disordered eating in both gastrointestinal and non-gastrointestinal populations.
methodsWe conducted a search of observational studies up to May 2024 that measured disordered eating using a scale in adults with a gastrointestinal condition. Psychometric evaluations of the scales were narratively reviewed. Prevalence rates of disordered eating were pooled using a random-effects meta-analysis, and risk of bias was assessed using an adapted Newcastle Ottawa Scale. KEY
resultsAmong 29 studies (overall medium risk of bias), 23 reported prevalences of disordered eating in gastrointestinal populations, and eight of these studies also reported prevalences in non-gastrointestinal populations. Only one out of 10 scales was developed and psychometrically evaluated in gastrointestinal populations, and 11 studies reported internal consistency (range α = 0.63 to α = 0.95). The prevalence of disordered eating was 33.2% (p < 0.001; 95% confidence interval: 0.25-0.41; I CONCLUSIONS AND INFERENCES: The utilisation of current disordered eating scales for adults living with gastrointestinal conditions should be undertaken with caution, and there is a need for disordered eating scales to be developed and validated in this population.
