Factors Affecting Ultra-Processed Food Consumption: Hedonic Hunger, Food Addiction, and Mood.
Article in Food science & nutrition, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Ultra-processed foods (UPF) play a central role in modern diets but pose a serious threat to public health. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between UPF consumption and hedonic hunger, food addiction, and mood and to explain the impact of these factors on dietary habits. This cross-sectional study included 3997 adults (2517 female, 1480 male), aged 18-65 years, recruited through snowball sampling in Ankara, Turkey. Data were collected via a web-based survey that included demographic information, self-reported anthropometric measurements, and validated scales: Screening Questionnaire of Highly Processed Food Consumption, The Power of Food Scale, Yale Food Addiction Scale, and Depression Anxiety Stress Scale-21. The mean age of the participants was 31.7 ± 12.82 years. The Screening Questionnaire of Highly Processed Food Consumption was positively correlated with the Yale Food Addiction Scale score and the subdimension scores of the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale-21 (
