Combining Digital Cognitive Behavioral Therapy With Mindfulness Training for Binge Eating Disorder: Protocol for a Feasibility Trial.
Article in JMIR research protocols, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07212673 (Combining Digital Cognitive-behavior Therapy With Mindfulness Training for Binge Eating Disorder), which is not on this 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.

Abstract
backgroundCognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is the most effective treatment for binge eating disorder (BED) but is limited by modest efficacy and low reach of in-person delivery. Combining mindfulness training with CBT could enhance efficacy by targeting emotion dysregulation, a key factor in BED that CBT does not adequately target. Digital delivery can enhance the reach of treatment. Accordingly, we developed CBT-based Mindful Courage, a 16-session digital intervention combining CBT and mindfulness training for BED.
objectiveThe aim of this study is to conduct a pilot randomized controlled trial to evaluate the feasibility (intervention and assessment completion) and acceptability (usability, overall satisfaction, engagement, visual appeal of content, understandability of program content, desire to continue the program, perceived skill acquisition, perceived confidence in implementing skills, and perceived helpfulness) of CBT-based Mindful Courage. We will also evaluate changes in outcomes (binge eating frequency, eating disorder symptoms, clinical impairment, and depression symptoms) and mechanisms (emotion dysregulation, dietary overrestriction, and trait mindfulness).
methodsThis is a parallel-group, single-blinded, randomized controlled trial with a 1:1 allocation ratio. It will be conducted from November 2025 to November 2026, with study assessments at baseline, midtreatment, end-of-treatment, and 2-month follow-up. We will recruit a volunteer sample of adults with BED (N=40) aged 18 to 75 years via online advertisements. Exclusion criteria include a BMI <18.5, current anorexia or bulimia nervosa, and current treatment for BED or weight loss. Participants will be randomly allocated to an active control that includes coached self-monitoring (self-monitoring of food intake in Recovery Record and coaching calls by a research assistant) or to CBT-based Mindful Courage+coached self-monitoring. Both conditions will have a duration of 18 weeks. All study sessions will take place over Zoom.
resultsThe study was funded in April 2023. Data collection began in November 2025, and we anticipate recruitment to be completed by November 2026. Results are expected to be analyzed by May 2027 and published by May 2028.
conclusionsThis will be an important first step in creating a scalable and efficacious treatment for BED.
