Body composition in Japanese patients with psychiatric disorders: A cross-sectional study.
Article in Neuropsychopharmacology reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
aimThis study aimed to investigate body composition in Japanese patients with psychiatric disorders.
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted to assess the body composition in Japanese patients with psychiatric disorders and healthy controls. InBody470 was used to measure the body composition of the participants. For the primary analysis, measures of body composition between patients and healthy controls were compared. Moreover, the following patient subgroups were also compared with the healthy controls: (a) patients with psychotic disorders only, (b) patients with mood disorders only, (c) patients receiving antipsychotics, (d) patients receiving conventional mood stabilizers, (e) patients receiving antidepressants only but not any antipsychotics and/or mood stabilizers, and (f) patients receiving hypnotics/anxiolytics.
resultsThis study included 205 individuals (105 patients and 100 healthy controls). It was found that patients had a significantly higher body mass index, waist-hip ratio, body fat mass, and percent body fat compared with the healthy controls. Moreover, significant differences were noted in the waist-hip ratio, body fat mass, and percent body fat between all patient subgroups other than patients receiving conventional mood stabilizers subgroup and healthy controls.
conclusionThis is the first cross-sectional study to examine body composition in Japanese patients with psychiatric disorders. No difference in the skeletal muscle volume was noted although patients had higher body fat than healthy controls. A longitudinal and large cohort study in the future, controlling for medication and diagnosis, will need to determine why body fat is increased in Japanese patients with psychiatric disorders.
