1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Other Specified Feeding and Eating Disorder (OSFED) has the highest prevalence of any eating disorder (ED), yet limited resources are available to help clinicians and researchers reliably differentiate between the different OSFED diagnoses. A tool capable of clarifying differences between OSFED subtypes and other EDs is needed to ensure that individuals receive accurate and specific diagnoses across clinical and research settings. To this end, the present report describes the development of a diagnostic flowchart developed for use in a research laboratory to allow research assistants without specialized training in EDs to make accurate and reliable diagnoses. We also provide guidelines for use of the flowchart alongside existing ED assessments and discuss evidence demonstrating its utility in improving interrater reliability among diagnostic raters, even those with minimal training. We envision this flowchart as an adaptable tool which will continue to be modified as the ED field works towards consensus definitions of OSFED diagnoses.
