Visceral Adiposity Is Associated with Elevated Interleukin-1 Receptor Antagonist Levels and Anxiety Symptoms in Schizophrenia.

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
Schizophrenia spectrum disorders are associated with visceral obesity and chronic low-grade inflammation. However, the role of inflammatory mediators in anxiety and depressive symptoms remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate associations between body fat distribution, circulating inflammatory mediators, and affective symptoms in schizophrenia. In this cross-sectional study, 67 patients with schizophrenia were assessed using the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS), with anxiety (G2) and depression (G6) items analyzed separately. Body composition, including visceral fat area (VFA), percent body fat (PBF), and skeletal muscle mass (SMM), was measured using bioelectrical impedance analysis. Serum concentrations of 38 immune mediators were determined using Multiplex technology. Multivariable regression analyses were performed to identify predictors of affective symptoms. Among all analyzed immune mediators, only interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1ra) was consistently associated with adiposity measures, showing the strongest correlation with VFA (rho = 0.53;
