Associations between chronotype and psychiatric symptoms across the adult lifespan.
Article in Translational psychiatry, 2025. 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
Chronotype, the individual propensity towards morningness or eveningness, is a transdiagnostic factor implicated in mental health. How chronotype covaries with distinct psychiatric symptoms across the adult lifespan remains underinvestigated. In this cross-sectional study, 428 participants (18-70 years, evenly distributed across five age groups; 282 women, 143 men, other gender identity) completed the Reduced Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire to approximate chronotype, and 11 validated scales assessing common psychiatric symptoms. Regression analyses and generalized additive models (GAMs) were used to examine linear and nonlinear relationships between chronotype, age, and psychiatric symptoms. Eveningness was associated with (in decreasing order of strength): emotion dysregulation, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), depression, autism, emotional instability, generalized anxiety, social anxiety, and impulsivity symptoms. Morningness was associated with mania symptoms. No significant associations were found between chronotype and delusional ideation or obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) symptoms. Psychiatric symptom severity was generally lower with increasing age, particularly for emotional instability, emotion dysregulation, and ADHD. Nonetheless, certain symptoms persisted across age in eveningness (depression, generalized anxiety, OCD, ADHD), while other symptoms were lower (mania) or higher (social anxiety and delusional ideation) with eveningness at older ages. Except for mania symptoms, morningness in older age was not associated with higher symptom burden than eveningness for any other psychiatric domains. These results are consistent with the idea that morningness may be protective, being associated with lower psychiatric symptom levels in both younger and older age groups. In contrast, eveningness was associated with higher levels of autism, social anxiety and delusional ideation symptoms in older age.
