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

Background: While cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is the first-line treatment for bulimia nervosa (BN), standardizing treatment approaches may create differences in acceptability and efficacy between Wester and non-Western countries. Methods: The retrospective cohort study investigated the feasibility and effectiveness of psychological therapies for BN in a Korean population. A total of 227 Korean patients with BN from a university hospital were included. Of these, 125 received CBT for binge eating based on the addictive appetite model, while 102 received specialist supportive clinical management for BN (SSCM for BN). Both therapies were accompanied by motivational enhancement therapy to enhance adherence. We conducted a mixed analysis of variance to examine the effects of two psychotherapies. Results: There were main effects of time, with decreases in BN behaviors at post-treatment showing small effects ( Conclusion: Both therapies were effective in reducing BN pathology in Korean patients with BN. The results suggest the need for personalization in the treatment of BN to enhance acceptability and efficacy, particularly in ethnic minorities.
