Insomnia and depression among bariatric surgery patients: the chain mediating effect of resilience and anxiety.

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
Objective: This study aimed to examine the psychological mechanisms of depression in both bariatric surgery candidates and post-bariatric surgery patients and to explore the roles of resilience and anxiety in these relationships. Methods: A total of 431 candidates for bariatric surgery were recruited from a hospital. One month after the bariatric surgery, 228 patients continued to participate in the study. All participants completed the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), Connor and Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC), Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-item scale (GAD-7), and Patient Health Questionnaire Depression Scale (PHQ-9). A mediation model analysis was used to investigate the mediating role of resilience, the mediating role of anxiety, and the chain mediating role of resilience and anxiety in the relationship between insomnia and depression. Results: Insomnia positively correlated with depression through the mediating role of resilience, the mediating role of anxiety, and the serial mediating effect of resilience and anxiety among bariatric surgery candidates. However, only a direct effect of insomnia on depression and the mediating role of anxiety were found in post-bariatric surgery patients. Conclusion: The findings demonstrated that insomnia leads to an increase in depression among bariatric surgery patients, with resilience and anxiety playing significant mediating roles. This also highlights the need for targeted resilience-enhancing interventions in obese patients who are about to undergo bariatric surgery.
