Chronotypes are significantly associated with emotional well-being in a general population cohort in Hungary.

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
Chronotypes reflect individual differences in the preference for wake and sleep times within a 24-hour period. They have been linked to emotional well-being, yet findings remain inconsistent, potentially due to variations in study populations, methodologies, and measures of emotional well-being. This study aimed to clarify the contribution of chronotypes to emotional well-being while controlling for demographic variables in a large cohort of 1,120 participants from the general population in Hungary. Emotional well-being was assessed using validated self-report measures, including the Brief Symptoms Inventory (BSI), Zung Self-Rating Depression Scale (ZSDS), State and Trait Anxiety Inventory-Trait (STAI-T), and Beck Hopelessness Scale (BHS). Chronotypes were determined using the Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire (MEQ). Comprehensive stepwise regression analyses were performed to evaluate relationships between demographic factors, chronotypes, and emotional well-being. Statistical analyses revealed that individuals with evening chronotypes were more likely to report lower emotional well-being, even after adjusting for demographic factors such as age, gender, and socioeconomic status. Regression models demonstrated the unique contribution of chronotypes to emotional well-being, highlighting the vulnerability of evening types. These findings underscore the importance of considering chronotypes in understanding emotional health and suggest potential directions for chronotype-specific interventions to promote mental well-being.
