The momentary interplay of affect, attention bias, and expectancies as predictors of binge eating in the natural environment.

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
objectiveAffect regulation, eating expectancies, and attention toward food-related cues are interrelated constructs that have been implicated in the maintenance of binge eating. While these processes show considerable temporal variability, the momentary associations between these domains have not been elucidated. This study examined a model that posited momentary fluctuations in affect, eating expectancies, and attention bias (AB) would interact to predict subsequent binge eating.
methodForty women who endorsed recurrent binge eating completed a 10-day ecological momentary assessment protocol with ambulatory measures of AB (i.e., dot-probe task with palatable food and neutral cues) and self-report assessments of positive and negative affect, eating expectancies (i.e., the belief that eating would improve one's mood), and binge-eating symptoms.
resultsGeneralized linear mixed models indicated higher momentary AB toward palatable food was associated with increased risk of subsequent binge eating, and a two-way interaction showed that moments of higher eating expectancies and negative affect were associated with increased likelihood of subsequent binge eating. Also, a three-way interaction emerged, in that the association between eating expectancies and subsequent binge eating was strongest at lower levels of positive affect and higher AB. DISCUSSION: Together, findings partially supported hypotheses and demonstrate meaningful within-person fluctuations in AB that precede binge eating. Further, results demonstrate that the momentary influence of eating expectancies on binge eating depends on both affective state and attentional processes.
