Fear of hypoglycemia and disordered eating behavior in type 1 diabetes.
Observational study in Eating behaviors, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
Individuals with type 1 diabetes (T1D) are at elevated risk for disordered eating behaviors (DEBs). When DEBs occur in someone with T1D, they have severe consequences, including increased risk of diabetes-related medical complications and early mortality related to poor glycemic control. Fear of hypoglycemia (FoH) is a diabetes-specific factor that is assumed to play a role in DEBs in T1D, but this has not been adequately tested. The current study examined FoH as a predictor of DEBs in the natural environment in adults with T1D who met criteria for clinically significant DEBs. Participants (n = 59) completed the 18 item FoH worry subscale of the Hypoglycemia Fear Survey II and reported on their eating behavior over three days of ecological momentary assessment. A total of 737 eating episodes were reported; 235 (31.89%) eating episodes involved DEBs (overeating or binge eating). The proportion of eating episodes that involved DEBs was regressed on FoH, controlling for age. Every one-point increase in the FoH worry subscale score was associated with a 2% increase in the odds of DEB (OR = 1.02; 95% CI [1.01, 1.03], p < .001). Results suggest that FoH may be an important clinical factor when addressing DEBs in T1D.
