Comorbidity between psychosis and eating disorders: a systematic review.
Review in Journal of eating disorders, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
backgroundComorbidity has been reported between eating disorders and psychotic illnesses such as schizophrenia, and several hypotheses regarding their relationship have been proposed. Therefore, we aimed to systematically review studies involving patients who are affected by both psychotic symptoms and eating disorders (ED).
methodWe systematically searched three databases for all studies describing psychotic symptoms among patients diagnosed with eating disorders. We conducted and reported the systematic review following the PRISMA statement.
resultsWe included 67 publications, of which 41 were case reports and 26 were descriptive studies. Most of the included studies described transient psychotic symptoms among individuals with ED or suggested comorbidity between schizophrenia and anorexia nervosa. DISCUSSION: The included studies were highly heterogeneous. The review suggests at least three different patterns of psychopathology: 1) patients with anorexia nervosa who experience transient psychotic symptoms in correlation with severe mental or physical stress; 2) patients suffering from comorbid schizophrenia and anorexia nervosa and fulfilling diagnostic criteria for both diagnoses; and 3) patients with psychotic illness who are experiencing disordered eating as part of their psychotic illness, but do not fulfill diagnostic criteria for it. Future research could conduct psychopathological follow-up on patients enrolled in treatment for these conditions.
