Loneliness, Binge Eating, and Type 2 Diabetes: A Novel Theoretical Model Evaluation.
Article in Journal of clinical psychology in medical settings, 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
Binge eating disorder and loneliness have both been identified as risk factors for developing Type 2 Diabetes (T2DM), and thus require attention and intervention. The interpersonal model of binge eating proposes that interpersonal problems lead to binge eating via the mediating pathway of negative affect. However, it is unclear whether the interpersonal construct of loneliness may serve a similar function. The current study aimed to test a loneliness model of binge eating in a T2DM population. Study participants (n = 192; mean age = 48.68 ± 14.85; 52.1% female gender) completed an online survey including measures of loneliness (UCLA Three-item Loneliness Scale and direct loneliness question), negative affect (Patient Health Questionnaire-4) and binge eating (Binge Eating Disorder Screener-7). We used structural equation modelling to assess the model and analysed mediation effects. The loneliness model of binge eating showed excellent model fit, and negative affect fully mediated the relationship between loneliness and binge eating (95% CI: 0.33, 0.90). Our findings indicate that interventions addressing loneliness may also be effective in reducing binge eating behaviours, contributing to the growing body of research emphasising the impact of loneliness on those living with T2DM.
