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.

Abstract

Emotional eating seems to emerge during the transition from childhood to adulthood; however, limited research has explored the association between emotional overeating and quality of life (QoL) in children with overweight and obesity. Therefore, the aim of this study was to examine the association between QoL and emotional overeating in a Danish sample of children with overweight and obesity. The present cross-sectional study is based on baseline questionnaire data from a nonrandomized controlled trial. Children attending a 10-week multicomponent lifestyle camp from October 2020 to March 2022 was invited to participate. Multiple linear regressions were used to examine if QoL was associated with emotional overeating before starting camp. In total, 229 children were included, and 45 children were excluded due to missing data, leaving 184 children in this study. The children had a mean age of 11.8 years (SD ± 1.38), with 60.9% girls and 39.1% boys, and the majority (94.6%) had overweight or obesity defined by a Body Mass Index Standard Deviation Score (BMI-SDS) > 1 SD. On average, children with a high tendency of emotional overeating had a 13.7 (95% CI 18.9; 8.5, p < 0.01) lower QoL score compared to children with a low tendency of emotional overeating.  Conclusions: This study shows that children with a high tendency of emotional overeating have lower quality of life, compared to children with a lower tendency of emotional overeating. Due to study limitations, the findings should be supported by further research. (Trial registration: clinicaltrials.gov with ID: NCT04522921). What is Known: • Emotional eating seems to emerge during the transition from childhood to adulthood. • Limited research has explored the association between quality of life and emotional overeating in children with overweight and obesity. What is New: • Children with a high tendency of emotional overeating had a lower quality of life compared to children with a lower tendency of emotional overeating. • Emotional overeating was negatively associated with quality of life in children with overweight and obesity.
