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

Resource-based models of self-regulation propose that fatigue-induced depletion of cognitive resources is an impetus for overeating. Data provide preliminary support for resource-based models for eating in adults, but the relevance of this pathway for youth is unknown. The aim of this study was to test a resource-based model of eating behavior in youth. It was hypothesized that energy intake would be greater following the completion of a cognitive fatigue (versus control) condition. Using a randomized crossover design, each participant completed two, 2-h experimental paradigms (cognitive fatigue [an attention demanding computer task], control [watching movies]), on separate days. Immediately following the conditions, participants were presented with a buffet-style meal from which their energy intake (kcal) and proportion of intake from palatable snack foods (e.g., cookies, chips) were measured. Participants (N = 90) had an average age of 12.5 years (SD = 2.5y) and were 50% female, 50% non-Hispanic White, 20% non-Hispanic Black, and 13% Asian. Participants did not differ in total energy intake (p = 0.72) or palatable food intake (p = 0.40) across the two conditions. Our findings do not provide support for resource-based models of eating behavior. More comprehensive investigations of resource-based models of eating behavior among youth are needed, including tests of potential moderators, to determine the relevance of these models for pediatric eating behavior. The aims of this study were retrospectively registered on 12/07/2024 ( https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT02390765 ).
