Associations among hedonic hunger, digital obesity, and type 2 diabetes self-management.
Article in Frontiers in nutrition, 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
Background: This study aimed to examine the mediating role of digital obesity in the association between hedonic hunger and type 2 diabetes self-management among adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in Turkey between April 28 and August 1, 2025. Data were collected using an online questionnaire, and 400 adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus were recruited through snowball sampling. The questionnaire included the Personal Information Form, the Power of Food Scale, the Digital Obesity Scale, and the Type 2 Diabetes Self-Management Scale. Multiple regression analysis was used to examine the associations of hedonic hunger and digital obesity with type 2 diabetes self-management. The mediating role of digital obesity was assessed using Hayes' PROCESS macro (Model 4) with bootstrapping. Results: Hedonic hunger was positively associated with digital obesity and negatively associated with type 2 diabetes self-management. Digital obesity was also negatively associated with type 2 diabetes self-management. Mediation analysis indicated that digital obesity significantly mediated the association between hedonic hunger and type 2 diabetes self-management. Conclusion: Hedonic hunger was negatively associated with type 2 diabetes self-management, and digital obesity partially mediated this relationship. These findings highlight the potential importance of addressing both psychological eating tendencies and digital lifestyle behaviors in strategies aimed at improving diabetes self-management.
