Gender and racial/ethnic differences in binge eating symptoms in a nationally representative sample of adolescents in the United States.

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
objectiveBinge eating disorder (BED) is the most prevalent eating disorder in the U.S. adolescent population. Both BED and subthreshold binge eating disorder (SBED) are associated with physical and mental health problems. Gender and racial/ethnic differences in prevalence of binge eating in a nationally representative sample of adolescents have been reported but have not yet been assessed in relation to individual symptoms of binge eating. We examined gender and racial/ethnic differences in endorsement of eight binge eating symptoms in a nationally representative sample of U.S. adolescents.
methodsWe used data from the National Comorbidity Survey-Adolescent Supplement (NCS-A; 2001-2004), a nationally representative cross-sectional study of adolescents aged 13 to 18years (n=9336). We compared binge eating symptoms across gender and racial/ethnic groups using multivariable regression models.
resultsFemales endorsed more binge eating symptoms than males associated with loss of control ('eat when not hungry') (adjusted prevalence ratio [aPR]=1.18, 95% confidence interval [CI]=1.02, 1.37, p=0.024) and distress (e.g., 'afraid of weight gain while binge eating' [aPR]=3.29, CI=2.43, 4.47, p<0.001). Racial/ethnic minorities displayed different patterns of binge eating symptoms than non-Hispanic Whites. Hispanics reported being more 'afraid of weight gain while binge eating' (aPR=2.05, CI=1.25, 3.37, p=0.006) than non-Hispanic Blacks. DISCUSSION: Our findings suggest significant gender and racial/ethnic differences in binge eating symptom presentation. Future work should explore reasons for these gender and racial/ethnic differences and consider these differences when determining how best to prevent and treat binge eating in adolescents.
