Night eating syndrome in women with gestational diabetes mellitus: a comparative cross-sectional study.

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
objectiveThe aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of night eating syndrome among women with gestational diabetes mellitus compared with healthy pregnant controls, and to evaluate its associations with sleep quality, healthy lifestyle behaviors, fatigue severity, physical activity, perceived social support, and neonatal outcomes.
methodsThis single-center, comparative cross-sectional study enrolled 615 pregnant women at a tertiary hospital. Night eating syndrome was identified using the Night Eating Questionnaire ≥25. Sleep quality, lifestyle behaviors, fatigue, physical activity, and perceived social support were assessed with the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, Healthy Lifestyle Behaviors Scale, Fatigue Severity Scale, International Physical Activity Questionnaire, and Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support. Group comparisons, and multivariable logistic regression with Benjamini-Hochberg correction were performed.
resultsNight eating syndrome prevalence was higher in women with gestational diabetes mellitus than in controls (p<0.001). The gestational diabetes mellitus group exhibited worse sleep (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index 17.2±4.0 vs. 8.3±5.7), lower Healthy Lifestyle Behaviors Scale scores, greater fatigue, and reduced social support (all p<0.001). Higher Healthy Lifestyle Behaviors Scale and physical activity were protective against night eating syndrome. Night eating syndrome was independently associated with a nearly fourfold increase in neonatal intensive care unit admission (adjusted odds ratio 3.82; 95%CI 1.68-8.71; p=0.001) after adjustment for gestational diabetes mellitus, body mass index, sleep, fatigue, lifestyle, gestational age at birth, and maternal age.
conclusionNight eating syndrome is highly prevalent among women with gestational diabetes mellitus, clustering with poor sleep, severe fatigue, sedentariness, and reduced social support, and independently associated with adverse neonatal outcomes.
