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

backgroundThis study aimed to determine whether mental health status contributes to speed eating in adolescents and young adults.

methodsThis study enrolled 106 subjects (53 males and 53 females), ranging in age from 12 to 24 years. After a self-administered lifestyle questionnaire and the 12-item General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12) were administered, a swallowing threshold test was performed. The swallowing threshold was determined based on the concentration of dissolved glucose obtained from the gummy jellies. Low swallowing threshold was characterized by glucose levels falling within the bottom 20th percentile. GHQ-12 was categorized into poor (score 4-12) and normal (score 0-3). Following the univariate analysis, a multivariate binary logistic regression analysis was conducted to determine the factors linked to a low swallowing threshold.

resultsBinomial logistic regression analysis revealed that the factors associated with a low swallowing threshold included poor mental health (odds ratio [OR] = 8.47,

conclusionsSpeed eating is closely associated with risk behaviors for poor mental health in adolescents and young adults.
