Sexual orientation and prevalence of disordered eating among young adults: Intersections with race, ethnicity, and gender.
Article in Eating behaviors, 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
objectiveDisordered eating is a public health concern linked with many adverse outcomes. Research has identified disparities in disordered eating prevalence across multiple social positions, but less work has examined sexual orientation as a primary consideration alongside other marginalized positions. This study examines prevalence of disordered eating behaviors across sexual orientation in combination with race/ethnicity and gender among young adults.
methodsParticipants included 960 young adults involved in Project EAT 2023. The adjusted probabilities of disordered eating outcomes (dieting, unhealthy weight-control behaviors [UWCB], and binge eating) among participants who identified as straight or a marginalized sexual orientation by gender and race/ethnicity were calculated from logistic regression models.
resultsAsian young adults with a marginalized sexual orientation had lower prevalence of dieting and UWCB compared to their straight peers. In contrast, Hispanic participants with a marginalized sexual orientation had greater prevalence of UWCB than straight Hispanic participants. White participants with a marginalized sexual orientation had a higher prevalence of binge eating compared to their straight peers. Straight men additionally reported greater dieting than men with a marginalized sexual orientation. DISCUSSION: This study contributes to a growing body of work on the intersectional nature of propensity for disordered eating behaviors. The findings highlight a need for more nuanced approaches to research, prevention, and intervention.
