Prevalence and associated factors of eating disorders in adults with type 2 diabetes: a systematic review.
Review in Journal of eating disorders, 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
backgroundPeople with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) have a higher risk of eating disorders, specifically binge eating disorders (BED) and night eating syndrome (NES) which may affect the diabetes management and long-term outcomes of T2DM. There is limited evidence to determine the prevalence and associated factors of this condition for targeted interventions. Our study aimed to systematically synthesise existing evidence exploring the prevalence of eating disorders and associated factors among adults with T2DM.
methodsThis review was pre-registered with PROSPERO (CRD42024587276). A systematic review was undertaken searching Embase, Medline, PsycINFO, Cochrane Central database. The National Institutes of Health Quality Assessment tool for Observational Cohort and Cross-Sectional Studies was used to evaluate the quality of eligible studies. Given the insufficient number of studies assessing the targeted outcomes, a meta-analysis was not attempted. A narrative synthesis was conducted.
resultsTwelve studies were included with cross-sectional studies. BED and NES were the two most common eating disorders in people with T2DM. Point prevalence was 2.5-29.6% for BED and 1.6-8.4% for NES. No data were available on the prevalence of bulimia and anorexia nervosa. Having eating disorders in T2DM was associated with a low level of psychological well-being, greater depression, anxiety symptoms, and high levels of BMI and HbA1c.
conclusionThere are psychological, physical and social factors associated with to high prevalence of eating disorders in T2DM. The current literature on eating disorders in T2DM is relatively limited, with few studies applying rigorous methods. Further studies are needed for large, high-quality studies that focus on the management, diagnosis, physical and psychosocial effects, and long-term outcomes of eating disorders in adults with T2DM.
