1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

objectiveThis study aimed to investigate the incidence of overweight in patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) comorbid anxiety during the acute phase and to explore associated factors.

designCross-sectional study.

settingWuhan Mental Health Center, China, from July 2017 to August 2022.

participants737 hospitalised patients diagnosed with MDD in the acute phase with comorbid anxiety symptoms. PRIMARY OUTCOME MEASURES: Incidence and clinical correlations of overweight (body mass index (BMI) ≥ 24).

resultsAmong the study population, 55.63% were classified as overweight. Binary logistic regression analysis revealed that being married (B=0.28, p value=0.018, OR=1.10), thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels (B=0.10, p value=0.001, OR=1.10) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels (B=1.61, p value=0.045, OR=1.18) were significant positive predictors of overweight. Additionally, multiple linear regression indicated that TSH levels (B=0.16, t=3.17, p value=0.002) were positively associated with higher BMI values.

conclusionOver half of the hospitalised MDD patients with comorbid anxiety are overweight. Thyroid function emerges as a crucial clinical factor for overweight in this population. Targeted interventions focusing on thyroid function may be a promising approach for managing overweight in these patients.
