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
Objective: This study aimed (1) to assess changes in the frequency and severity of eating disorders (EDs) during the COVID-19 pandemic (March 2020-December 2024) compared to the pre-pandemic period (January 2015-February 2020) and (2) to evaluate changes in rates of self-harm and suicidal ideation among individuals with EDs. Method: Data were extracted from the French National Hospital Discharge Database (PMSI), including all patients hospitalized with a diagnosis of ED between 2015 and 2024 ( Results: Compared to the pre-pandemic period, there was a significant increase in ED hospitalizations during the pandemic period, particularly among adolescents and young adults (ages 0-14, 15-19, and 20-24). The proportion of patients hospitalized for self-harm and/or suicidal ideation within 2 years of an ED stay was higher during the pandemic period (13.31% vs. 8.67%, Discussion: This nationwide study reveals a marked rise in both the incidence and severity of EDs during the COVID-19 pandemic, despite the limitations associated with the use of an administrative database. These findings highlight the urgent need for age-targeted prevention strategies and early intervention programs, particularly for younger populations.
