Shared and Unique Risk Factors for Binge Eating and Binge Drinking in a Community-based Sample of Girls.
Article in Research on child and adolescent psychopathology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Binge eating and binge drinking commonly onset in adolescence and frequently co-occur with one another, especially among females. Understanding shared and unique risk factors for these behaviors can inform etiological models and elucidation of common and specific prevention/intervention targets. We analyzed self-report data from 1,994 participants of the Pittsburgh Girls Study, a population-based longitudinal study of behavioral and emotional development. We used path analysis to examine the impact of age 14 predictor variables on age 16 binge eating and drinking, adjusting for these behaviors at age 14. We hypothesized that greater negative emotionality, sensation-seeking, and impulsivity would be shared risk factors, whereas higher body mass index and thinness expectancies would be unique to binge eating, and positive alcohol expectancies would be unique to binge drinking. Results showed little comorbidity between binge eating and drinking (1.9% at age 14; 4.4% at age 16). Of the three hypothesized shared risks, only age 14 negative emotionality was associated with both binge eating and drinking at age 16; sensation-seeking was associated with binge drinking only and impulsivity was unrelated to either outcome. None of the hypothesized unique risk factors were associated with binge eating. Contrary to hypotheses, positive alcohol expectancies were related to both binge eating and drinking. While this study requires replication and extension to a greater spectrum of putative risk factors, findings suggest that negative emotionality and positive alcohol expectancies, but not impulse control or appearance-related factors, may be viable targets for unified prevention/treatment protocols delivered in community settings.
