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

backgroundThe aim of this study is to find a pathway to explaining the relations between dietary behaviors with mental health and psychological functioning. MATERIALS AND

methodsThis cross-sectional study contains 4763 participants from the employees of Isfahan University of Medical Sciences. In this study, four questionnaires were administered which were provided as follows: demographic characteristics, 21-item dietary behaviors questionnaire, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale questionnaire, and 12-item General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12). We started the analysis with the structural equation modeling (SEM) model with 4 unobserved latent and 16 observed variables.

resultsThe results show that the regression coefficient (standard error) of diet behavior on mental health and mental health on GHQ were - 1 (0.37) and 0.02 (0.01) with their

conclusionWe can conclude that "lower scores on diet behavior - higher scores on mental health problems" and "higher mean scores in depression and/or anxiety - higher scores in GHQ domains." The SEM results showed that dietary behaviors have significance related to depression and/or anxiety and general health status.
