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.

Abstract

backgroundDepression and anxiety are common psychiatric comorbidities among people with multiple sclerosis (MS). Emerging data suggest abnormal serum homocysteine, vitamin B

methodsIn a previously conducted randomized parallel-arm trial, participants with RRMS (n = 77) were randomly allocated to either the Swank or Wahls diets at baseline and followed for 24 weeks. Blood was drawn at four study visits spaced 12 weeks apart: (1) run-in, (2) baseline, (3) 12 weeks, and (4) 24 weeks. Serum vitamin B

resultsSignificant improvement in severity of depression (HADS-D) and anxiety (HADS-A) symptoms, MHI total, and MHI subscores were seen at 12 and 24 weeks in each diet group. Further, a significant within-group reduction in serum homocysteine and a significant increase in serum vitamin B

conclusionParticipants on both Swank and Wahls dietary interventions, including folate and vitamin B
