Chronotype-specific associations of meal timing patterns with cardiometabolic health in women: a cross-sectional study.
Article in Nutrition & metabolism, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
backgroundAlthough prior studies have examined meal timing and health, few have considered the impact of individual chronotypes and diurnal preference. This study explored how meal distribution and chronotype-morning (M-type) versus evening (E-type)- are associated with cardiometabolic health.
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted among 574 women in Tehran, Iran. Dietary intake was assessed through three 24-hour recalls and chronotype was determined via the Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire. Cardiometabolic markers-including blood pressure (BP), glucose, lipids, insulin, and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP)-were measured.
resultsIn E-type individuals, higher breakfast energy intake was linearly associated with lower systolic [β 95% CI, -0.03 (-0.05
conclusionAligning energy intake with wake-up time-rather than delaying meals-may benefit evening chronotypes prone to circadian misalignment. Moderate breakfast and afternoon intake, with lower dinner intake, was related to better cardiometabolic health. Accordingly, longitudinal studies are advocated.
