Psychometric evaluation of the Chinese version of Mindful Eating Scale in Chinese adults: a translation and validation 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: Mindful eating serves as a critical behavioral strategy for promoting healthy dietary practices and enhancing mental wellbeing. However, there is currently a notable absence of a rigorously validated mindful eating assessment tool that is applicable to the general population in China. This study aims to translate the Mindful Eating Scale (Mind-Eat Scale) into Chinese and to validate the psychometric properties of the Chinese version within the general population of China. Methods: A convenience sampling method was employed to recruit a total of 346 adults from three communities across three provinces in China: Jiangxi Province, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, and Heilongjiang Province. The Brislin translation model was employed for forward-backward translation. A multidisciplinary expert panel ( Results: The Chinese version of the mind-eat scale comprises six dimensions: awareness, non-reactivity, openness, gratitude, non-judgment, and hunger/satiety, totaling 24 items. The overall Cronbach's Conclusion: The Mind-Eat Scale exhibits satisfactory psychometric properties within a community-based convenience sample of Chinese adults, establishing it as a preliminary instrument for assessing mindful eating levels in this specific population. However, further validation in more diverse and clinical populations is warranted before broader application.
