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

Objective: In recent years, the risk of depression has increased among young people, and changes in body mass index (BMI) during childhood may be important factors in their development. However, the relationship between changes in BMI during childhood and the risk of depression needs further research and exploration. Methods: The annual health examination data were collected from Physical Examination Center of Wuhan Mental Health Center Hospital, including 1226 students. The height and weight of students at the age of 11, 14, and 17 were recorded in sequence, and at 18 years old, these students were followed up according to the Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD) to evaluate the depression. The relationship between BMI trends and depression was analyzed through Logistic regression analysis. Results: The growth trend of BMI was divided into normal growth, slow growth, and excessive growth. The odds ratio (OR) value for depression in the slow growth was 1.218 (95% CI, 0.995-1.493) compared to the normal growth, which was no significant difference ( Conclusion: The rapid growth of BMI is correlated with the occurrence of depression in young individuals and may be a contributing factor to the development of depression in this demographic.
