Cultural Food Practices and Their Potential Role in Mitigating Disordered Eating Among American Indian/First Nations Youth.
Article in The Journal of adolescent health : official publication of the Society for Adolescent Medicine, 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
purposeExplore the relationship between disordered eating and engagement in cultural food practices in a sample of American Indian/First Nations (AI/FNs) adolescents.
methodsUsing interviewer-administered surveys data derived from Healing Pathways (N = 661), a longitudinal community-based participatory research study with Midwest AI/FN communities, we examined disordered eating, cultural food practices, and related sociodemographic variables in AI/FN adolescents using data from two time points/waves of this larger longitudinal study. We examined the structure of a disordered eating questionnaire using exploratory factor analysis to reveal psychometric properties of the questionnaire, resulting in three distinct disordered eating constructs "binge eating," "obsessive food behaviors," and "altered feelings about body." Associations with cultural food practices and these disordered eating constructs were examined using adjusted and unadjusted linear regression models.
resultsGreater engagement in cultural food practices was significantly associated with lower levels of "altered feelings about body" in both unadjusted (β = -0.27, standard error [SE] = 0.04, p < .001) and adjusted models (β = -0.11, SE = 0.05, p < .05). Identifying as female was linked to higher levels of both "obsessive food behaviors" (adjusted β = 0.36, SE = 0.12, p < .05) and "altered feelings about body" (adjusted β = 1.65, SE = 0.16, p < .001). DISCUSSION: Participation in cultural food practices may potentially play an important role in creating and sustaining healthy eating behaviors for AI/FN youth. Future research should consider the impact of disordered eating on nutrition-related health behaviors, as well as the potential protective role of cultural food practices against unhealthy eating behaviors.
