The longitudinal impact of individual and parental emotional factors and individual behavioral factors on weight and disordered eating: A scoping review.

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
backgroundEmotional and behavioral problems during childhood and adolescence play a significant role in the development of disordered eating behaviors (DEBs) and weight problems later in life. Understanding these trajectories is essential for early prevention and intervention efforts.
objectiveThe aim was to map the existing literature on how individual and parental emotional factors, as well as individual behavioral factors, influence the development of weight problems and DEBs over time in children, adolescents and young adults.
methodsThis scoping review encompasses longitudinal, follow-up, and prospective studies published in peer-reviewed journals. Eligible studies involve children, adolescents, or young adults (aged 10-24 years) without pre-existing DEBs or weight problems at intake.
resultsWe identified 100 studies across four databases. Depression, including depressive symptoms, as well as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) were found to have significant associations with later development of both DEBs and weight problems. There was limited evidence of an association between anxiety, anxiety symptoms, as well as general psychological distress, and later development of DEBs and weight problems, as these findings were inconsistent and mixed. Few studies assessed the association between parental emotional factors on the development of DEBs and weight problems in their children, and the results were thus inconclusive.
conclusionExisting evidence shows that depression and ADHD are relevant factors associated with the development of DEBs and weight problems. These might be important targets for early intervention and prevention. There is a lack of evidence regarding the potential link between anxiety and parental emotional factors, and the development of DEBs and weight problems during late childhood and young adulthood. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the current evidence base, identifying key knowledge gaps, and thereby informing future research and prevention strategies targeting emotional and behavioral risk factors for DEBs and weight problems.
