Assessment of EMA binge-eating symptoms in Adolescents: Factor analysis and associations with social context and food types.
Article in Appetite, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
objectiveThis study examined the factor structure of five binge-eating symptom items and identified the social contexts and food types associated with these symptoms in adolescents using ecological momentary assessment (EMA).
methodsSeventy-four adolescents aged 13-17 completed ten days of EMA, including signal-contingent prompts and event-contingent eating episode prompts. When recording eating episodes, adolescents completed measures on their current social context, food and drinks consumed, and binge-eating symptoms during the episode. Primary analyses included multilevel exploratory factor analysis of five binge-eating symptom items and generalized linear models of associations between social contexts and food types with binge-eating symptoms.
resultsA two within-subject (i.e., overeating and loss of control eating [LOCE] subscales) and one between-subject factor solution fit the data. Within-subjects alone versus not alone was associated with lower overeating (p = .010) and within-subjects family versus not with family was associated with higher overeating (p = .033). Between-subjects family context was associated with lower LOCE (p = .008), while between-subjects peers/friends context was related to higher LOCE (p = .002) and overeating (p = .003). Both within- and between-subjects consumption of sweet food was associated with increased LOCE (p = .03 and p < .001, respectively) and overeating (p = .02 and p = .003, respectively). Within-subjects consumption of salty/fried food and pizza/fast food was both significantly associated with higher LOCE (p < .001 and p=.021, respectively) and overeating (p=.041 and p < .001, respectively). Within-subjects consumption of sweetened beverages was linked to higher overeating (p < .001), while water consumption was associated with lower overeating (p = .002).
conclusionsImplications include the use of context-specific nutrition and social interventions in reducing adolescent binge eating.
