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
Binge eating is associated with a range of negative health outcomes and may be influenced by early life adversity. While childhood trauma is a known risk factor for disordered eating, the mechanisms underlying this relationship are not fully understood. This study examined whether perceived stress mediates the association between childhood trauma and trait binge eating in adults. A community sample of 391 participants (82% women; aged 17-76) completed the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire-Short Form, the Perceived Stress Scale, and the Binge Eating Scale. Mediation analyses revealed perceived stress partially mediated the relationship between childhood trauma and binge eating symptoms. Furthermore perceived helplessness and low self-efficacy as sub-components of perceived stress were mediators in relation to emotional abuse and physical neglect. These findings support the role of cognitive-affective stress appraisals as mechanisms linking early adversity to disordered eating behaviours and highlight targets for prevention and intervention efforts.
