What are the predictive factors of body image disturbance in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus? A cross-sectional study in China.
Article in BMJ open, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
objectivesPatients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) may experience body image disorders, which can adversely affect their physical and mental health. We aimed to assess the body-image-related quality of life of patients with SLE, explore the influencing factors and determine the potential predictors of body image disturbance (BID) in these patients.
designCross-sectional study.
settingThe department of rheumatology and immunology in Nantong.
participantsA convenience sample of 230 patients with SLE.
interventionsThe study survey included an assessment of demographic information and evaluations using the Body Image Disturbance questionnaire (BIDQ), Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory-20 and Body Image Quality of Life Inventory (BIQLI). PRIMARY AND SECONDARY OUTCOME MEASURES: BID scores and their possible predictors. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics, correlational analysis and stepwise multiple linear regression analysis.
resultsThe mean BIDQ score and the mean scores for anxiety, depression and fatigue were 23.04 (SD, SD=11.90), 6.94 (SD=4.53), 6.49 (SD=4.51) and 54.21 (SD=11.63), respectively. The mean BIQLI score was 0.31 (SD=16.59). The findings revealed significant correlations with education level, comorbidities, SLE Disease Activity Index (SLEDAI), anxiety, depression, fatigue and BIQLI. Fatigue, depression, presence of comorbidities and SLEDAI were predictors of worsening BID (p<0.05).
conclusionIn our study, the relationship between BIDQ and anxiety, depression, and fatigue was analysed, and predictors of BID were defined. When formulating interventional measures, the patient's condition should be evaluated, and effective interventions should be implemented to improve the patient's body image and ultimately improve the patient's quality of life.
