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

backgroundEating disorders (EDs) are common in adolescents with obesity. Detection of EDs, such as binge eating disorder (BED), within pediatric weight management programs (PWMPs) is vital to ensure that children and adolescents receive appropriate treatment, yet identification of EDs in PWMPs is not well-established. This study sought to understand current practices in the assessment and management of EDs in PWMPs in the United States.

methodsA survey was developed by topic experts within Childhood Obesity Multi-Program Analysis and Study System to evaluate program practices related to the screening, diagnosis, referral, and treatment of EDs in PWMPs. Surveys were emailed to medical and behavioral health providers within these practices throughout the United States. Responses were tabulated and compared across program and provider characteristics.

resultsOf the 38 respondents, three-fourths regularly screened for one or more EDs (

conclusionsTo provide the best patient care for adolescents with obesity, training and structured guidelines are needed to improve ED screening, as well as referral and treatment practices.
