Associations between dietary glycemic and insulinemic patterns and eating behavior in adults: a cluster-based analysis.
Article in International journal of obesity (2005), 2026. 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
backgroundAlthough eating behavior may be influenced by the type and amount of carbohydrates and insulin-stimulating nutrients consumed, studies specifically addressing these dietary characteristics in relation to eating behavior are extremely limited. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the connections between different aspects of adult eating behavior and dietary glycemic and insulinemic indices.
methodsA total of 561 healthy adults aged 19-64 years were assessed in this study. Dietary intake was evaluated with a semiquantitative food frequency questionnaire, and glycemic index (GI), glycemic load (GL), insulin index (II), and insulin load (IL) were calculated. Participants were categorized into three clusters based on their dietary glycemic parameters (GI, GL, and carbohydrate intake) and separately into three clusters based on insulinemic parameters (II, IL, and energy intake) using k-means clustering. The body weight, height, waist and hip circumference were measured. Eating behavior was evaluated using the Three-Factor Eating Questionnaire-Revised 18 (TFEQ-R18) and the Food Cravings Questionnaire-Trait (FCQ-T).
resultsThe mean BMI was significantly lower in Cluster I, whereas waist and hip circumference did not differ across glycemic clusters. For insulinemic clusters, Cluster III had the highest BMI, waist and hip circumference (p < 0.05). Participants in the high-GL cluster exhibited significantly higher emotional and uncontrolled eating scores, along with greater susceptibility to food-related cues, negative emotions, and guilt (p < 0.05). Similarly, individuals in the high-IL cluster reported elevated scores in emotional and uncontrolled eating and food craving subscales related to positive and negative reinforcement, emotional triggers, and loss of control (p < 0.05). In contrast, both in low GI/GL and in low-II/IL clusters displayed more favorable eating behavioral patterns. These associations remained significant after adjusting for confounders (age, gender, BMI, and waist circumference).
conclusionIncreased food cravings and maladaptive eating patterns are associated with diets that have higher glycemic or insulin loads. Beyond merely controlling energy intake, dietary interventions that are self-regarding glycemic and insulinemic properties may improve behavioral regulation of eating.
