1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Dysfunctional eating behaviors (DEB: emotional eating (EE), uncontrolled eating (UE) and cognitive restraint (CR)) are prevalent in U.S. Latinos and may influence diet. However, this has not been studied in Puerto Rico (PR). This study documents DEB in PR, and explores associations with diet. Cross-sectional study of adults (n = 92) in Ponce, PR. DEB were measured with the TFEQ-R18-V2. The Block Fat and Fruits and Vegetables Screener measured dietary intake. Analysis included adjusted proportions, means and linear regressions. 76%, 88%, and 87% of participants experienced EE, UE and CR, respectively. EE was associated with calories from fats (β = 1.95, 95% CI 0.40, 3.51) and saturated fats (β = 3.26, 95% CI 0.67, 5.85), and CR with fruits and vegetables (β = 0.69, 95% CI 0.20, 1.19). A large percentage of the sample experienced DEB. EE and CR were associated with dietary intake. Studies are needed to understand associations between DEB, diet and health in PR.
