Prevalence and Correlates of Perceived Food Noise Among U.S. Adults in a Nationally Representative Sample.
Article in Obesity science & practice, 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
Background: Food noise is a term that has recently emerged in the media, social media, and public discourse to describe people's experiences around food-related thoughts. Despite recent efforts to define and measure food noise and the abundance of online content on the topic, the proportion of US adults who believe they experience it remains unknown. Objective: To estimate the prevalence and demographic and behavioral correlates of perceived food noise experiences in a nationally representative sample of U.S. adults. Methods: Data were drawn from Verasight's SBM Omnibus Survey (May 2026; Results: 50.89% of respondents reported experiencing food noise at least occasionally and 17.98% frequently. Frequent endorsement was higher among female-identifying respondents (22.70% vs. 12.68% in males, Conclusions: Self-reported experiences of "food noise" are common and associated with demographic and disordered eating-related factors, highlighting widespread identification with this emerging construct and the need for further research to define and understand its clinical significance.
