Mindful eating and Chrono-Mediterranean diet adherence associated with lower gastrointestinal symptom burden in young adults.

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: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between gastrointestinal symptom burden and Chrono-Mediterranean diet adherence and mindful eating in young adults. It also sought to explore the role of microbiota awareness in this relationship and identify factors associated with Chrono-Mediterranean diet adherence. Methods: This cross-sectional study involved 677 young adults and employed convenience and snowball sampling. Data were collected through face-to-face interactions using a personal information form, the Gastrointestinal Symptom Rating Scale (GSRS), the Bristol Stool Chart, the Chrono-Mediterranean Diet Score (CMDS), the Expanded Mindful Eating Scale (EMES), and the Microbiota Awareness Scale (MAS). Descriptive statistics, correlation analyses, and multiple linear regression analyses were performed using SPSS (IBM, NY, USA) version 30.0, with statistical significance set at Results: Among the 677 respondents (mean age: 20.79 ± 2.34 years; 75.2% female), GSRS scores were negatively correlated with microbiota awareness ( Conclusion: Greater adherence to the Chrono-Mediterranean diet and higher levels of mindful eating were independently associated with lower gastrointestinal symptom burden in young adults. Although microbiota awareness was associated with symptom burden in univariate analyses, it was not an independent predictor after adjustment. These findings highlight the potential relevance of diet quality, meal timing-related dietary adherence, and eating-related awareness for gastrointestinal health in young adults.
