Anxiety severity among adults having upper gastrointestinal symptoms: Proportion and predictors - A cross-sectional study.
Article in Bioinformation, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Anxiety is common in upper GI disorders and yet data from India is lacking. Therefore, it is of interest to document the proportion and predictors of severity of anxiety in adults with upper GI symptoms. In this cross-sectional study from a tertiary hospital in Bhopal, India, exit interviews of patients >18 years age, with upper GI symptoms were conducted using semi-structured tools. Out of 500 participants, 16.6% had minimal, 16% mild, 53.4% moderate 14% had severe anxiety as per GAD-7 criteria. Being aged 65 and above, married, employed, vegetarian, high likelihood of GERD were predictors, whereas, higher socio-economic status and alcohol consumption were protective against moderate to severe anxiety. Collaborative care models focused on targeted screening for anxiety among these patients is need of the hour.
