Large-scale web-based survey on eating behaviour in the Japanese general population using a dietary behaviour questionnaire.

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
aimsIdentifying habitual patterns of eating behaviour underlying obesity is essential for effective weight loss interventions. This study aimed to clarify differences in eating behaviours among obese individuals in a large-scale Japanese population. MATERIALS AND
methodsWe analysed data from an online survey completed by 17 766 individuals aged 20-69 years. Eating behaviours were assessed using the Dietary Behaviour Questionnaire from the Japan Society for the Study of Obesity. Differences in the seven eating behaviour domains were examined by sex (Wilcoxon rank-sum test), age (Steel test with the 20s as the reference), and BMI category (Steel-Dwass test), classified as normal weight (18.5 to <25 kg/m
resultsAmong the normal-weight subjects, females scored higher than males in all domains except 'Way of Eating' and 'Dietary Content', whereas the eating behaviour scores declined with age across all of the domains in both sexes. Across the BMI categories, scores for all of the domains significantly increased with increasing obesity levels in both sexes. Particularly in males, significant differences were also observed between overweight and obese subjects. Additionally, age-related declines in scores were less pronounced among obese individuals. Furthermore, significant positive correlations between scores for all domains and BMI were observed in both sexes, even after adjusting for age.
conclusionsOur findings revealed significant differences in a wide range of eating behaviours across sex, age, and obesity levels. These results may contribute to the development of evidence-based strategies for the treatment of obesity disease.
