Keeping it simple: mental health assessment in the Gastroenterology Department - using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) for IBD patients in Israel.

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
backgroundDepression and anxiety are common among inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients. Not only do they worsen quality of life, but also worsen the prognosis of the IBD. Yet, there are no widely accepted guidelines for screening for depression or anxiety in this population. The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) is a self-administered questionnaire designed to measure anxiety and depression in the physically ill. The purpose of this study was to establish the utility of the HADS as a screening tool in IBD patients.
methodsSeventy-nine IBD patients (age 29.86 ± 8.36, 51.9% female, 77.2% Crohn's disease) were recruited consecutively at the day treatment unit, Gastroenterology Department, Sheba Medical Center. They were asked to complete the HADS, the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI). The scores of the HADS depression and anxiety subscales were correlated with the BDI and STAI scores, and the rates of above-threshold scores were calculated and compared between the three questionnaires and findings from previous studies.
resultsThe two HADS subscales significantly correlated with and the BDI (
conclusionsOur findings suggest the HADS as a valid screening tool for anxiety and depression in IBD patients. We recommend administering it routinely in gastrointestinal (GI) follow-ups using a lower cut-off score for depression than anxiety (greater than 7 vs greater than 11, respectively).
