Content validation of the Eating Behavior and Appetite Questionnaire (EBAQ) in adolescents with obesity or overweight.

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: Obesity in children and adolescents is a growing global concern. Changes in appetite and eating behaviors are clinically relevant outcomes for long-term management of obesity. The Eating Behavior and Appetite Questionnaire (EBAQ) was developed as existing patient-reported outcome measures do not comprehensively capture concepts important to individuals with obesity. Its content and psychometric validity have been demonstrated in adults; this study evaluated the content validity of the 17-item EBAQ in adolescents with obesity or overweight. Methods: This cross-sectional qualitative study included US-based adolescents (12-17 years) with obesity or with overweight and ≥1 obesity-related complication. Cognitive interviews were conducted via telephone/teleconference using a semi-structured interview guide. Participants completed the EBAQ and provided feedback on its relevance, clarity, and comprehensiveness. Transcripts were coded using a coding framework. Results: Fifteen adolescents (mean age, 14.7 years; mean body-mass index, 33.6 kg/m Conclusion: Findings support the conceptual relevance, clarity, and appropriateness of the 17-item EBAQ for adolescents with obesity or overweight. The EBAQ may be used to assess appetite and eating behavior outcomes in adolescents with obesity or overweight in clinical trials and observational studies.
