Cross-sectional and longitudinal associations between cardiometabolic measures and clinical stage in young people accessing early intervention mental health services.
Article in Early intervention in psychiatry, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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 retrospective cohort study aimed to identify the cardiometabolic characteristics, cross-sectionally and longitudinally, associated with clinical stage in youth accessing early intervention mental health services.
methodsCardiometabolic data we collected in 511 young people (aged 12-25 years at entry) receiving mental health care at the early intervention services in Sydney, Australia.
resultsThe majority of young people (N = 448, 87.67%) were classified in stage 1a or 1b at entry. At entry to care, there was no cross-sectional relationship between clinical stage and age, gender, fasting insulin, fasting glucose, updated homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA2-IR) score, BMI or waist circumference. Of the 111 (21.7%) young people initially classified at stage 1a ('non-specific symptoms') and the 337 (65.9%) classified in stage 1b ('attenuated syndromes'), 40 individuals transitioned to stage 2+ (7.8%) ("full-threshold disorders") longitudinally. No cardiometabolic factors predicted clinical stage transitions. However, those with an increase in BMI over the course of care (n = 54) were 1.46 (OR; 95% CI: 1.02-2.17) times more likely to progress to stage 2+ at follow up.
conclusionsWhilst no relationships were found between demographic or cardiometabolic variables and clinical stage at entry to care, an increased BMI over time was associated with clinical stage transition longitudinally. Further longitudinal research is needed to understand the demographic, clinical, illness progression or treatment factors associated with changes in cardiometabolic status.
