The relationships between hoarding-related behaviours and disordered eating in a non-clinical adult sample: an exploratory study.
Article in BMC psychology, 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
The prevalence of disordered eating is reportedly high in people with hoarding behaviours, and both eating disorders (ED) and hoarding disorder (HD) show strong associations with anxiety/depression. There is also some evidence that both may be underpinned by aspects of perfectionism. In a non-clinical sample of 252 adults (187 females) we explored possible relationships between disordered eating and hoarding severity, and assessed the relationships between hoarding, eating disorders and perfectionism. After controlling for gender and mood (anxiety and depression) we found significant positive correlations between hoarding symptoms (especially ‘acquisition’) and one aspect of disordered eating (bulimic severity). We did not find an association between hoarding behaviours and perfectionism as a whole, but did find a significant negative association between hoarding and ‘organization’, which is one aspect of perfectionism. The predicted association between ED and perfectionism was found at all levels of analysis. We propose that hoarding-related behaviour (especially excessive acquisition) may be associated most strongly with binge-eating and this should be explored further in future research.
