Evaluation of comorbid psychological disorders in functional gastrointestinal disorders patients by vibraimage technology: protocol of a prospective, single-center trial.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Introduction: Functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs) affect over 40% of individuals globally, and impact the quality of life. A significant portion of FGIDs patients comorbids with anxiety and depression. Traditional screening tools for psychological disorders may lack comprehensiveness. Vibraimage technology currently enables non-contact, objective analysis of psychological indicators through high-frame-rate cameras and computer analysis of micro-movements. Therefore, this study aims to (1) explore the use of vibraimage technology as a non-contact objective method to assess the psychological status of FGIDs patients, comparing this technology with the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) to evaluate its screening efficacy, and (2) observe the therapeutic outcomes of FGIDs patients with or without comorbid psychological disorders after the same conventional treatment. Methods: This is a prospective, single-center observational trial. 276 FGIDs outpatients who visit Peking Union Medical College Hospital will be evaluated simultaneously by HADS and vibraimage technology, then to evaluate the screen efficacy of this technology. The patients will be allocated into two groups (those with or without psychological disorders). The primary endpoint is the overall rate of improvement, specifically referring to the proportion of patients who achieved Likert scores greater than or equal to 4. The secondary endpoints encompass evaluating whether there is a reduction of more than 50% in symptom evaluation scores such as IBS-SSS. Additionally, the study will assess changes in health status and quality of life using SF-36 questionnaires and the patients' satisfaction with treatment. Furthermore, psychological status will be reassessed by vibraimage technology and HADS after treatment to evaluate the effect of combined psychological factors on FGIDs treatment.
