Adverse childhood experiences and adult stress eating.
Article in Research square, 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
Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are an indicator of childhood trauma and are associated with worse adult health outcomes. We examined the association of ACEs and adult stress eating in a largely low-income and racially diverse population. Among 32,209 Southern Community Cohort Study participants, we used multivariable-adjusted logistic regression to estimate the association of ACEs with frequent adult stress eating. Individuals with any ACE were almost 50% more likely to report frequent stress eating as an adult compared to those without ACEs (OR: 1.47; 95% CI: 1.38, 1.56), and there was a significant dose-response trend with increasing number of ACEs. These associations remained significant after further adjusting for depression and emotional well-being. With the finding that individuals with ACEs are more likely to stress eat during adulthood, and both are implicated in a diverse array of poor health outcomes, further investigation of this association could have translational and therapeutic potential.
