Multimorbidity of overweight and obesity alongside anxiety and depressive disorders in individuals with spinal cord injury.
Article in The journal of spinal cord medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers, 3 of them syntheses 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
objectiveTo compare the prevalence of anxiety/depression and overweight/obesity (Aim 1) and the multimorbidity of these conditions (Aim 2) in a sample of adults with and without spinal cord injury (SCI). Aim 3 was to examine whether overweight/obese individuals with SCI differ on the prevalence of anxiety/depressive disorders compared to non-overweight/obese individuals with SCI.
designRetrospective cohort study.
participantsIndividuals ≥16 years old who had patient encounters between January 1, 2011, and February 28, 2018. In total, 761 598 individuals were included, of which 3136 had SCI.
main outcome measuresIndividuals were identified as diagnosed with SCI, anxiety and/or depressive disorders, and overweight/obesity using the International Classification of Diseases.
resultsAge-adjusted odds ratios (ORs) were calculated using logistic regression. In contrast to non-SCI individuals, those with SCI had increased odds of anxiety disorders (OR: 3.58, 95% CI [3.29-3.90]), depressive disorders (OR: 4.33, 95% CI [3.95-4.74]), and overweight/obesity (OR: 3.08, 95% CI [2.80-3.38]). Pertaining to multimorbidity, individuals with SCI had increased odds of having overweight/obesity alongside anxiety disorders (OR: 4.30, 95% CI [3.71-4.98]) and overweight/obesity alongside depressive disorders (OR: 4.69, 95% CI [4.01-5.47]) compared to those without SCI. Individuals with SCI who were diagnosed as overweight/obese had increased odds of having anxiety disorders (OR: 2.54, 95% CI [2.06-3.13]), and depressive disorders (OR: 2.70, 95% CI [2.18-3.36]), relative to non-overweight/obese individuals with SCI.
conclusionsThis work is among the first to find evidence that individuals with SCI are at heightened odds of overweight/obesity alongside anxiety and/or depressive disorders. This early work holds clinical implications for treating these interrelated comorbidities in SCI.
