1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

objectiveThe objective of our 14-day technology-supported free-living study was to assess how psychological, environmental, and social factors affect overeating among participants with obesity.

methodsWe recruited 47 adults with obesity (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m

resultsOur analysis identified six BS factors (e.g., stress, perception of overeating, restaurant food, later meals, pleasure-seeking meal) and ten WS factors (e.g., biological hunger, perceived overeating, uncontrolled eating, social eating, restaurant food, snacks) to be significantly associated with caloric intake. Notably, participants who were more stressed, on average, consumed more calories (0.74; p = 0.002) with high consistency (-0.7; p = 0.048) between individuals. When stressed and not at home, participants consumed less calories (-0.62; p = 0.0043).

conclusionConventional strategies for managing stress-related overeating fall short. Effectively addressing overeating requires an understanding of both psychological and contextual factors.
