Time Perspective and BMI: The Mediating Roles of Self-Control and Sugar-Sweetened Beverage Consumption.

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
Objective: This study aims to investigate the associations between future, present-hedonistic, and present-fatalistic time perspectives (TP) and body mass index (BMI) among college students, and to examine whether self-control and sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) consumption mediate these relationships. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted in Jiangsu Province, China, involving 920 college students. The survey collected data on participants' height, weight, future TP, present-hedonistic TP, present-fatalistic TP, self-control, and SSB consumption. Multiple hierarchical regression analysis was employed to identify potential covariates, and three chain mediation models were analyzed using the PROCESS macro (Model 6) in SPSS version 26. Results: The results indicated that future TP was negatively associated with BMI (β = -0.23, 95% CI = [-3.81, -2.24]), and present-hedonistic TP showed a positive association (β = 0.18, 95% CI = [1.47, 2.73]). Present-fatalistic TP was not significantly related to BMI. Furthermore, self-control and SSB consumption mediated the relationships between future TP, present-hedonistic TP, present-fatalistic TP, and BMI (β = -0.02, 95% CI [-0.04, -0.01]; β = 0.02, 95% CI [0.01, 0.02]); β = 0.02, 95% CI = [0.01, 0.02]). Conclusion: TP, self-control, and SSB consumption are important factors associated with BMI among college students. Promoting a future-oriented TP and self-control, while reducing present-oriented TP and SSB intake, may support more effective BMI management. These findings offer theoretical implications for designing targeted health interventions.
