Provider-Prescribed Restrictive Diets in Patients With Eating Disorders Presenting for Gastroenterology Care.
Article in Neurogastroenterology and motility, 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
introductionDespite considerable evidence and patient demand, restrictive diets for gastrointestinal (GI) disorders may be harmful in those with comorbid eating disorders (EDs). We identified the frequency and characteristics of provider-recommended restrictive diets among those with EDs seeking GI care.
methodsUsing a preexisting cohort of patients who had a GI encounter from 2010 to 2020 with a GI diagnosis and ED diagnosis (either diagnosed before or after initial GI encounter), we conducted a retrospective analysis of restrictive diet prescriptions within 12 months of initial GI consult as well as diet type, provider subspecialty, and types of ED and GI diagnoses.
resultsFrom a cohort of 610 patients, we found 285 patients meeting our inclusion criteria; 50 (17.5%) were prescribed restrictive diets within 12 months of their GI consult by GI providers. Disorders of gut-brain interaction were the most common GI diagnoses overall (n = 169, 59.3%). Of those with a pre-existing ED (n = 188), 30 (16.0%) were prescribed a restrictive diet, and of those with a subsequently diagnosed ED (n = 97), 20 (20.6%) were prescribed a restrictive diet. Among patients with preexisting EDs, 69 (36.7%) were not in remission at the time of consultation. Of those with preexisting EDs who were prescribed a restrictive diet, 17/30 (57.7%) were not in remission.
conclusionWe found that 16% of patients with an ED history were prescribed a restrictive diet by their gastroenterologist, including those not in remission. Further research is needed on the potential risk of restrictive diets in facilitating ED behavior.
