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
Background: Eating behavior is a multidimensional construct shaped by physical, emotional, and psychological factors. This study investigated the relationships and effects of self-esteem, emotional appetite, and food addiction on eating attitudes among young adults, while also assessing the role of demographic variables in relation to eating attitudes (EAT-26 scores). Methods: Data were collected from 766 participants (171 women, 595 men) using the Eating Attitudes Test-26 (EAT-26), Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSB), Emotional Appetite Questionnaire (EMAQ), and Yale Food Addiction Scale (YFAS). Results: Among the participants, 71.7% had a healthy weight, 13.0% were underweight, and 15.2% were overweight or obese. Significant associations were observed between the EAT-26 eating preoccupation subscale and educational level, smoking, skipping snacks, eating out ( Conclusion: The results indicate that eating behavior is most strongly influenced by food addiction, negative emotional appetite, and low self-esteem, underscoring the decisive role of psychological factors.
