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

backgroundCeliac disease (CD) is an autoimmune disorder affecting genetically predisposed individuals, causing abnormal immune responses against gluten-containing grains. Celiac disease patients are at risk for health-related problems that affect their nutrition status, mental health and eating behavior. The focus of this study was on mental health aspects, including anxiety, stress and depression as well as eating behaviors among celiac disease patients in Palestine.

methodsThis case-control study compared eating behaviors and psychological status among 226 celiac disease patients and healthy controls. Data was collected using an online questionnaire administrated via Google forms. We used the Eating Behaviors Reference for Adults to assess eating behaviors and the Depression Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS 21) to assess psychological status. We measured nutritional status using variables such as body mass index (BMI), unintentional weight loss and eating that had stopped or nearly stopped for more than five days.

resultsThe study indicated that the case group had a higher mean psychological level as compared to the control group; the mean depression score for the case was 12.94 ± 5.30 for the control (11.35 ± 3.95), p < 0.05. Anxiety levels were higher in the case group (13.72 ± 5.38) compared to the control group (12.25 ± 4.09) (p < 0.05). The case had a higher stress level (15.83 ± 5.58) than the control group (14.23 ± 4.24) (p < 0.05). Results highlighted that mental health association with eating behaviors was found to be significant in the case group, as depression, anxiety and stress were significantly associated with satisfaction responses (r = -.319) (p value ≤ 0.01), (r = .439) (p value ≤ 0.05) and (r = .381) (p value ≤ 0.01) but not in hunger, emotional eating or picky eating. Additionally, with stress was found to be more significant in slow eating (r = .186) (p value ≤ 0.05).

conclusionCeliac disease impacts mental health, including depression, stress and anxiety. It also affects eating behaviors such as slow eating, enjoyment and satiety responsiveness. In celiac disease patients, mental health influences eating behaviors such as slow eating and satiety responses.
