Composite Summary Scores Capture Obesogenic Eating Risk Among Preadolescents Using the Child Eating Behaviour Questionnaire.
Article in Pediatric obesity, 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
backgroundThe Child Eating Behaviour Questionnaire (CEBQ) measures multiple appetitive traits. We used a data-driven approach to identify simplified composite scores across traits to summarise obesogenic eating risk.
methodsFrom 354 unrelated 9-to-12-year-olds, we examined 29 items from CEBQ domains measuring food approach or avoidance: food responsiveness, enjoyment of food, emotional over-eating, desire to drink, satiety responsiveness, slowness in eating, and emotional under-eating. Factor analysis assuming a single factor was used to reduce the number of items in one composite, obesogenic eating score. Candidate composite scores averaged items with standardized loadings ≥|0.40|, ≥|0.50|, or ≥|0.70|. Those scores, the individual domain scores, and a theory-driven composite score were correlated with BMI z-scores and two obesity polygenic risk scores (PRS, subset n = 247).
resultsThe three data-driven composite scores (4-18 items) and the theory driven score were highly correlated with each other (r range: 0.77-0.97) and more strongly correlated with BMI (r range: 0.38-0.42; FDR q < 0.001) than any individual domain score. Similarly, these scores were significantly correlated with both PRSs.
conclusionsWe identified CEBQ composite scores related to child BMI and genetic obesity risk, suggesting a subset of CEBQ items can measure obesity risk conferred by child appetitive traits.
