Multiomics insights into eating time patterns and cardiovascular risk among Chinese children.
Article in Nature communications, 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
As the prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors in children continues to rise globally, identifying modifiable lifestyle factors becomes increasingly important for early prevention. Here, using data from a large-scale cohort (2021-2024) involving 7459 Chinese children from three provinces, we examine the association between eating timing patterns and multiple cardiovascular parameters. Participants are classified into three eating patterns: extended eating window (duration more than 12.5 hours), late eating window (duration 12.5 hours or less with last meal after 20:00), and early eating window (duration 12.5 hours or less with last meal at or before 20:00). Early eating window is associated with a 26% lower risk of elevated blood pressure (odds ratio: 0.74, 95% confidence interval: 0.65-0.84, p < 0.001) compared to extended eating window. We conduct a nested case-control study (n = 51) with comprehensive lipidomic and proteomic analyses. Proteomics identifies 83 differentially expressed proteins, with enrichment in cardiac muscle contraction and lipid metabolism pathways. Mediation analysis demonstrates that triacylglycerols mediate 64.8% of the effect between eating patterns and blood pressure. Our findings suggest associations between early eating windows and protective cardiovascular parameters in children, potentially mediated through lipid metabolism pathways.
