The Roles of Depression and Binge Eating in the Relationship Between Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and Obesity.
Article in Obesity surgery, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
objectiveResearch has demonstrated that adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) were related to elevated lifetime risk of developing obesity, but the underlying mechanisms between ACEs and development of obesity are yet to be fully elucidated. The current study aims to extend exiting evidence on underlying mechanisms between ACEs and development of obesity by examining whether depressive symptom and binge eating symptom have independently significant mediating effects on the association.
methodsThe study used data from a total of 473 patients seeking bariatric surgery who completed psychological evaluation including ACEs, depressive symptom, and binge eating scale as a part of presurgical multidisciplinary weight management consultations. Mediation analyses were conducted using the PROCESS macro for SPSS to examine the research objective.
resultsThe study found that depressive symptom uniquely mediated the relationship between ACEs and obesity, but binge eating symptom did not significantly mediate the relationship independently of depression.
conclusionsThe unique role of depression in relation to childhood trauma in this study argues for more focus on a mental health intervention with bariatric patients during the preoperative period. Addressing ACEs for bariatric patients who present psychiatric symptoms during preoperative process could have potential benefits to patient care.
