Preliminary Evidence of the Association Between Binge Eating and Preeclampsia in Pregnant U.S. Military Active-Duty Service Women.

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
objectivesBinge eating is the most common disordered eating behavior among pregnant women. This study examined the association of binge-eating frequency with the presence of a self-reported current preeclampsia diagnosis in a sample of U.S. military active-duty Service women.
methodsActive-duty Service women (N = 134), 20-27 weeks gestation, completed an online survey assessing binge eating (number of episodes in the past 28 days), preeclampsia diagnosis, sociodemographics, pregnancy-related variables, and perceived stress. Firth logistic regression models evaluated the associations between binge-eating frequency and preeclampsia and between stress and preeclampsia, adjusting for relevant covariates and controlling for multiple comparisons.
resultsA total of 91 (67.9%) participants reported experiencing at least one objective binge-eating episode in the past 28 days, and 11 (8.2%) reported a current preeclampsia diagnosis. Evaluated in separate models, both binge-eating frequency and stress were significantly associated with preeclampsia, adjusting for gestational weight gain. Specifically, for each additional binge-eating episode a participant reported, their odds of having a preeclampsia diagnosis were 14% higher (p = 0.008), and for every one unit increase in stress, the odds of having a preeclampsia diagnosis were 38% higher (p = 0.007). DISCUSSION: Results indicated that a substantial majority of pregnant active-duty Service women in this sample reported binge eating. Binge eating and stress were both associated with increased odds of preeclampsia. While these relationships need further exploration, identifying high levels of stress or binge eating early in pregnancy could be an important addition to screening and prenatal care.
