From eveningness to food addiction: exploring the roles of night eating syndrome and mindful eating.

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
backgroundChronotype is a key biopsychosocial factor that regulates individuals' sleep-wake cycles and daily activities while also shaping their eating behaviors. Eveningness has been associated with maladaptive eating patterns such as food addiction and night eating syndrome, with mindful eating considered a critical factor in these associations.
objectiveThe aim of this study was to examine the direct relationships among eveningness, night eating syndrome, and food addiction, and to investigate the mediating role of night eating syndrome and the moderating role of mindful eating in these associations.
methodsThis exploratory cross-sectional study was conducted with 490 adults. Participants completed validated measures including the Yale Food Addiction Scale (YFAS), Night Eating Questionnaire (NEQ), the Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire (MEQ
resultsCorrelation analyses showed that NEQ was positively associated with YFAS symptom counts (r = 0.166, p < 0.001), whereas MEQ
conclusionsThis study shows interrelations among chronotype, night eating syndrome, and mindful eating in relation to food addiction. Mindful eating was inversely associated with food addiction symptoms and was found to condition the association between night eating syndrome and food addiction. Trial registration This study did not involve a clinical intervention requiring trial registration.
