A Study of Relationships Between Mental Well-Being, Sleep Quality, Eating Behavior, and BMI: A Cross-Sectional Study Among University Students.
Article in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
The study aimed to conduct a multifaceted assessment of university students' mental health, sleep quality, eating behavior, and BMI, and to investigate the relationships between these factors. The DASS-42 (Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale), PSQI (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index), free-factor eating questionnaire R18V2, and BMI were the research instruments used. The study involved 397 university students, 59.9% of which were of a healthy weight. The average scores obtained in the student assessment indicated mild to moderate depression, moderate anxiety, and normal to moderate stress levels. The average uncontrolled eating score was 43.72 ± 14.69, cognitive restraint score-32.86 ± 30.58, and emotional eating score-31.14 ± 29.00. BMI was found to have a weak but significant correlation with cognitive restraint and emotional eating. Sleep quality was found to have a moderately strong correlation with depression, anxiety, and stress. A weak but significant correlation was confirmed between emotional eating and depression, anxiety, and stress. The students were at high risk of depression, anxiety, and stress, which was correlated with poor sleep quality and bad eating behavior. These results will be used to develop a support program that promotes students' mental well-being, which is essential for academic success.
