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

Depression is one of the major disease burdens worldwide. Few studies have addressed body mass index (BMI) in Chinese depression patients. This current study aimed to investigate the BMI in patients with depression and the correlation with clinical factors. A total of 211 inpatients with first-episode depression were enrolled. General and clinical data were collected by standardized questionnaires and the levels of hemoglobin, fasting blood glucose, uric acid, and blood lipid were measured. In total, 24-item Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD) and 14-item Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA) were rated for all the patients. The BMI of 211 patients with depression was 37 (17.5%) in the underweight group, 117 (55.5%) in the normal-weight group, 43 (20.4%) in the overweight group, and 14 (6.6%) in the obesity group. Multivariate logistic analysis showed that uric acid was the only risk factor for BMI. The ordered logit model showed that the risk of elevated uric acid increased with BMI grade. And the risk of severe depression was significantly greater in patients with underweight than those in normal-weight. The level of uric acid in patients with first-episode depression is positively correlated with BMI, and the score of depressive symptoms is higher in patients with underweight.
