Child eating disorder examination (ChEDE) interview and child eating disorder examination questionnaire (ChEDE-Q): psychometric properties of the Italian versions.
Article in Eating and weight disorders : EWD, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
purposeTo examine the psychometric characteristics of the Italian language versions of the child eating disorder examination (ChEDE) interview and child eating disorder examination questionnaire (ChEDE-Q).
methodsChEDE (from EDE 17th edition) and ChEDE-Q were first translated, and then administered to 147 patients with eating disorders under the age of 18, along with 80 age-matched controls. Their internal consistency (Cronbach alpha), inter-rater reliability (Spearman rho), short-term (7-23 days) test-retest reliability (Spearman rho), and criterion validity (group differences by Mann-Whitney U) were evaluated.
resultsPatients with eating disorders displayed significantly higher ChEDE/ChEDE-Q scores than age-matched controls, demonstrating the adequate criterion validity of the instrument (all subscales and global scores significant at p < 0.001). Internal consistency was high for all original ChEDE/ChEDE-Q subscales (minimum Cronbach alpha 0.752), apart from Eating Concerns (minimum Cronbach alpha 0.591). Inter-rater reliability was excellent for global ChEDE/ChEDE-Q scores and each subscale (minimum Spearman rho 0.999). Test-retest reliability was excellent for global ChEDE/ChEDE-Q scores and each subscale (minimum Spearman rho 0.791).
conclusionsThe Italian versions of the ChEDE interview and ChEDE-Q exhibited excellent psychometric properties and may, therefore, be recommended for the assessment of Italian patients with eating disorders less than 18 years old, both in clinical practice and research settings. Level of evidence III evidence obtained from cohort or case-control analytic studies.
