A multimodal tableware system for supporting mindful eating in solo dining: a pilot study.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 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: Promoting healthier eating behaviors is an important strategy for addressing the global burden of lifestyle-associated diseases. With the increasing prevalence of solo dining, individuals often develop rapid and inattentive eating habits, which may contribute to poor digestion, overeating, and unhealthy dietary patterns. Objective: To explore how improving solo dining behaviors can be embedded in everyday dining artifacts, we developed SensEat, a modular embodied tableware system that coordinates visual, auditory, and haptic micro-feedback during solo dining. Materials and methods: An exploratory fixed-sequence within-subject study involving 20 participants was performed to compare the SensEat-guided intervention (SGI) with an app-guided intervention (AGI). Because all participants completed AGI prior to SGI, the condition and order effects could not be separated. Behavioral outcomes (meal duration and chews per bite), self-reported experience (five IMI-informed single-item ratings), and perceived task workload (three selected NASA-TLX ratings) were assessed. Results: Relative to the AGI session, the SGI session was associated with longer meal duration and more chews per bite (both P Conclusion: These exploratory findings support the feasibility of embedding multimodal eating-pace guidance into everyday tableware. Within the fixed AGI → SGI sequence, the SensEat session is associated with behavioral patterns such as slower eating, higher Interest/Enjoyment and Value/Usefulness, and higher Mental Demand, which highlights the promise and attentional cost of artifact-embedded guidance.
