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
objectiveDisturbances of glucose homoeostasis are claimed to act as both a consequence and maintaining factor in eating disorders (EDs). This study explored glucose trends and their association with real-time food intake and self-report eating psychopathology in a sample of patients with anorexia nervosa (AN) and binge-eating disorder (BED).
method30 patients (AN, 15; BED, 15) wore continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) sensors while synchronously collecting data on daily food intake. CGM outputs were extracted and correlated with nutritional intake, daily meals composition and self-report eating psychopathology (BES, NEQ, GQ, Y-FAS).
resultsUp to 74% of participants experienced hypoglycaemia in the study period, with unique trends by diagnosis (prolonged, interprandial, nocturnal episodes in AN; brief, postprandial, daytime episodes in BED). Significant association between the average number of daily meals, glucose coefficient of variation, and symptomatic events was evident in AN. Self-report night eating and food addiction symptoms in AN, and self-report grazing in BED, associated, respectively, with daytime and symptomatic hypoglycaemia.
conclusionsHypoglycaemia is a frequent finding in patients with AN and BED and is associated with daily meals composition and dysfunctional eating behaviours. Theoretical explanations are provided for a diagnosis-specific effect on hypoglycemia events. CGM could valuably contribute to understanding, clinical staging, and customised treatments of EDs.
