Disordered eating predicts mindful eating regardless of sex and disability status: a cross-sectional study.
Article in Journal of eating disorders, 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
backgroundDisordered eating and mindful eating are under-studied among athletes with disabilities; clarifying their interplay could inform potential prevention strategies. This study examined the relationship between disordered eating and mindful eating in athletes across different sexes and ability statuses, addressing the limited research in disabled populations.
methodsIn this cross-sectional study, 140 Turkish athletes (70 with physical disabilities; 70 without) completed the Eating Disorder Examination-Questionnaire and the 30-item Mindful Eating Questionnaire. Group differences, Pearson correlations and multiple linear regression were calculated.
resultsGlobal disordered-eating and mindful-eating scores did not differ by disability status or sex. Athletes with disabilities reported lower Emotional Eating (17.6 ± 4.7 vs. 19.4 ± 4.5; p = 0.023) and, among men, higher Mindfulness sub scores (16.0 ± 2.6 vs. 14.6 ± 2.7; p = 0.006). Mindful eating correlated inversely with disordered eating in both groups (with disabilities: r = -0.49, p < 0.001; without: r = -0.32, p = 0.014) and was strongest in women with disabilities (r = -0.76, p < 0.001). Disordered eating emerged as a significant predictor of lower mindful eating (β = -4.66, p < 0.001), explaining 1% of its variance after controlling for age, sex, body-mass index and disability status.
conclusionsMindful eating is inversely associated with disordered eating across athletes, with the relationship particularly pronounced in women with disabilities. Interventions that cultivate mindful eating could be relevant for managing disordered eating in para-sport.
