Despite the large use of psychotropic drugs in the clinical setting, Food and Drug Administration has not approved any psychoactive treatment for AN.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Aims:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The aim of this study was to perform an updated systematic review and meta-analysis of published randomized controlled trials (RCTs) investigating psychopharmacological treatment in acute-phase AN.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The present paper follows the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) statement. An extensive literature search was performed. All RCTs enrolling patients with acute-phase AN, comparing at least one psychotropic drug with another drug, placebo, treatment-as-usual or no treatment were included. The main outcome was the effect of psychoactive drugs on body mass index (BMI); data on psychopathological outcomes were also collected when available.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 19 RCTs met all specified criteria. Of these, 11 were excluded from quantitative analyses. Of the eight studies included in the meta-analyses, five reported data on BMI, showing no significant difference between olanzapine and placebo for weight recovery. No significant result was found for AN psychopathology, depressive and anxious symptoms for any of the molecules studied.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>RCTs published in this field display methodological biases, low sample sizes and short follow-up periods. Further research efforts are needed in this field as no evidence has been demonstrated for the use of any psychotropic drug in acute-phase AN neither for weight recovery, nor for comorbid psychiatric symptoms.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/0269881120920453","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,5,25]],"date-time":"2020-05-25T03:13:31Z","timestamp":1590376411000},"page":"864-873","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":36,"title":["Pharmacological treatment of acute-phase anorexia nervosa: Evidence from randomized controlled trials"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"34","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3623-7096","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Emanuele","family":"Cassioli","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health Sciences, University of Florence, Florence, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Carolina","family":"Sensi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health Sciences, University of Florence, Florence, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Edoardo","family":"Mannucci","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Diabetes Agency, AOU Careggi Hospital, Florence, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Valdo","family":"Ricca","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health Sciences, University of Florence, Florence, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Francesco","family":"Rotella","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Psychiatric Unit, AOU Careggi Hospital, Florence, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,5,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-0269881120920453","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1176\/appi.books.9780890425596"},{"key":"bibr2-0269881120920453","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archgenpsychiatry.2011.74"},{"key":"bibr3-0269881120920453","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1176\/ajp.155.4.548"},{"key":"bibr4-0269881120920453","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S0033291711000390"},{"key":"bibr5-0269881120920453","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00004714-198502000-00003"},{"key":"bibr6-0269881120920453","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1176\/appi.ajp.2008.07121900"},{"key":"bibr7-0269881120920453","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.psyneuen.2007.02.005"},{"key":"bibr8-0269881120920453","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s12888-014-0376-7"},{"key":"bibr9-0269881120920453","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/YIC.0b013e328080ca31"},{"key":"bibr10-0269881120920453","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/erv.2254"},{"key":"bibr11-0269881120920453","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/eat.20367"},{"key":"bibr12-0269881120920453","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s40262-017-0612-7"},{"key":"bibr13-0269881120920453","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/YIC.0b013e32835281ef"},{"key":"bibr14-0269881120920453","volume-title":"Review Manager (RevMan)","author":"Copenhagen: The Nordic Cochrane Centre, The Cochrane Collaboration","year":"2014"},{"key":"bibr15-0269881120920453","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jpsychires.2010.03.011"},{"key":"bibr16-0269881120920453","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159\/000369978"},{"key":"bibr17-0269881120920453","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.schres.2013.11.041"},{"key":"bibr18-0269881120920453","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4088\/JCP.15m10393"},{"key":"bibr19-0269881120920453","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0924-977X(02)00058-5"},{"key":"bibr20-0269881120920453","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/1471-244X-9-67"},{"key":"bibr21-0269881120920453","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/(SICI)1098-108X(199901)25:1<11::AID-EAT2>3.0.CO;2-U"},{"key":"bibr22-0269881120920453","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s40263-016-0335-6"},{"key":"bibr23-0269881120920453","unstructured":"Gaskill JA, Treat TA, McCabe EB, et al.
