Family-based therapy for eating disorders: from the Milan model to contemporary evidence.
Review in Frontiers in child and adolescent psychiatry, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Family-oriented therapy has profoundly influenced the conceptualization and treatment of eating disorders over the past five decades. Beginning with systemic pioneers such as Mara Selvini Palazzoli and Salvador Minuchin, clinicians have increasingly viewed eating disorders not solely as intrapsychic disturbances but as relational phenomena embedded within family systems. These ideas led to structured, evidence-based models such as Family-Based Treatment (FBT) and Multifamily Therapy (MFT). This review summarizes historical milestones, theoretical innovations, and empirical findings on family-oriented interventions for eating disorders. The article also discusses mechanisms of change, clinical applications, and contemporary challenges in implementation and cultural adaptation of family based treatments. Some interesting research hypotheses are formulated regarding family support and neural circuitry during refeeding that can inspire future research.
