Appetite for coping: a latent profile analysis of typological heterogeneity in nurse burnout and emotional eating.

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
Objective: To identify the latent heterogeneous subtypes of burnout and emotional eating among Chinese clinical nurses, and to examine the predictive effects of monthly night shift frequency and years of work experience on subtype membership. Methods: A convenience and snowball sampling method was used to survey 360 practicing nurses in China from August 2025 to January 2026. Burnout and emotional eating/emotional undereating were measured using the Maslach Burnout Inventory-Human Services Survey (MBI-HSS) and the Adult Eating Behavior Questionnaire (AEBQ), respectively. Latent profile analysis (LPA) was conducted to identify subtypes, and multinomial logistic regression was used to examine predictors. Results: LPA identified three distinct profiles: "Low Burnout-Adaptive Eating" (36.1%), "Moderate Burnout-Emotional Reactive" (47.8%), and "Severe Burnout-Maladaptive Coping" (16.1%). Multinomial logistic regression showed that each one-level increase in monthly night shift frequency was associated with a 72.6% higher risk of belonging to the severe burnout profile (OR = 1.726, Conclusion: There is a substantial co-occurrence of burnout and emotional eating among Chinese nurses. Frequent night shifts serve as a key driver of resource depletion, while professional experience provides a stepwise protective effect. Nursing administrators should implement refined scheduling to cap monthly night shifts and deploy precision-targeted interventions (e.g., mindful eating support) toward novice nurses with high night shift loads to interrupt early-career loss spirals.
