Circadian misalignment and adolescent obesity risk behaviors: physical & sedentary activity, dietary intake, and food reward.

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
Objectives: Sleep duration and quality frequently predict obesity-related behaviors, though less is known about how circadian misalignment relates to obesogenic behaviors. The current study evaluated the impact of experimentally induced circadian misalignment on dietary intake, food reward, and physical/sedentary activity in adolescents. Methods: Thirty-one adolescents (ages 14-18 (M = 15.5, Results: Participants consumed a moderate amount of more carbohydrates in the misaligned condition, compared to the aligned condition (t(15) = -2.14; Conclusions: Circadian misalignment, independent of sleep loss, may play a limited role in shaping short-term obesogenic behaviors in adolescents, highlighting the need for future interventions and research to continue prioritizing sleep duration and quality while clarifying the contexts in which sleep timing may be most relevant.
