Examining maladaptive eating behaviors and psychological difficulties among women with compulsive eating and obesity: a latent profile analysis.
Article in Journal of eating disorders, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundMaladaptive eating behaviors are central to weight gain and are influenced by various psychological determinants associated with obesity. While some studies have established profiles based on different maladaptive eating behaviors using medical samples of individuals with obesity, no studies have focused on all patients with overweight or obesity seeking psychological help for compulsive eating. The objective was to identify eating behaviors profiles using maladaptive eating behaviors (disinhibition, susceptibility to hunger, and restraint) among women patients with compulsive eating and overweight or obesity, and to compare those profiles with each other on socio-demographic, clinical, psychological, and eating-related variables.
methodsOne hundred and eighty-eight women patients with overweight or obesity (BMI ≥ 25 kg/m
resultsThree profiles emerged from the latent profile analysis. The Highly disinhibited profile includes women with high scores for disinhibition and susceptibility to hunger and a low score of restraint. The Moderate sensitivity to eating cues profile includes women with moderate scores of disinhibition, susceptibility to hunger, and restraint. The Perceived control over food profile includes women with the highest restraint score and the lowest levels of disinhibition and susceptibility to hunger. Group comparisons showed significant differences between profiles. The Highly disinhibited profile included women with higher levels of depressive symptoms and impulsivity as well as lower scores of self-directedness and cooperation. This profile also showed the highest level of binge eating, food craving, and food addiction symptoms. The Moderate sensitivity to eating cues profile showed more body esteem and greater cooperation. The Perceived control over food profile had less impulsivity and depressive symptoms as well as a higher level of self-directedness.
conclusionThese results highlighted mechanisms that seem to prevail in different profiles of patients with compulsive eating which offer intervention targets that should be prioritized when offering psychotherapeutic treatment.
