Depression and alexithymia on weight perception in patients with metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes.
Article in Diabetology & metabolic syndrome, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundObesity's increasing follows decreased perception of weight status in obese persons, mainly female, undergoing age-related changes.
objectiveTo study weight perception and psychological alterations associated to MS and T2DM.
methods200 patients selected from Metabolic Syndrome Outpatient Clinic of University of Campinas. Instruments: Beck Depression and Beck Anxiety Inventories', Toronto Alexithymia Scale-26s, questionnaire and data from reports. Approved by Unicamp Research Ethic Committee.
resultsPatients aged 18-40 years perceived their weight higher than actual (A < D) (p = 0.0272), amongst untreated hypertensive (p = 0.037). ≥41 years old patient's subdivided into A = D and A > D. A = D had 4.3 more chances to be alexithymic than A < D. 35% of A < D accepted their physical appearance, contrarily A = D (66%) and A > D (69%) (p = 0.0018). 50% of A < D felt offended by social aggression due to their weight; A = D (20%) and A > D (34%) (p = 0.007). 3.6 more chances of A > D than A < D using anti-hypertensive drugs (p = 0.021) (≥41 years old) and 3.5 more chances to perceive A = D (41-60 years old) (p = 0.023). A = D presented 3.8 more chances of depression than A < D and 4.3 more chances of alexithymia than A < D (62% of 41-60 year-old patients with higher cholesterol, mainly LDL and hyper-triglycerides). A = D with alexithymia, partially linked with higher cholesterol, suggests neuroinflammation due to hypertriglycerides. Females, who declared had been anteriorly made diet as treatment to lose weight were exactly those who perceived their weight A > D (45%, p = 0.0091).
conclusionsAge as a period of development, in which cultural influences occurs, was a factor in weight misperception. A < D and A > D were distinct in age, history of obesity and BMI.
