Anxiety disorders: a cross-sectional study of clinical and biological associations.

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
It is estimated that more than 300 million people worldwide suffer from anxiety disorders. Oxidative stress is increasingly recognized as a factor in the development and progression of anxiety disorders. This study aimed to investigate the association of psychological symptoms and oxidative stress parameters with anxiety disorders. This is a cross-sectional study that included a paired sample of adults diagnosed with anxiety disorders (116 individuals) and without a diagnosis of anxiety disorders (234 individuals). Data collection took place from September 2020 to July 2021 during the COVID-19 pandemic. We assessed the presence of psychiatric conditions using standardized diagnostic criteria, the Hamilton Rating Scale for Anxiety (HAM-A), the Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HAM-D), the Biological Rhythms in Neuropsychiatry Assessment Interview (BRIAN), and the Functional Assessment Short Test (FAST). Stress levels were assessed using the Stress Symptom Inventory. Oxidative stress parameters were measured in the serum sample. Individuals with anxiety disorders had higher levels of stress, greater severity of depressive and anxiety symptoms, impaired cognitive functioning, and greater impairment in biological rhythms compared with individuals without anxiety disorders. In addition, individuals with anxiety disorders had decreased total antioxidant capacity compared with individuals without anxiety disorders. However, after correcting for multiple testing, the oxidative status did not differ between groups. This study demonstrates that anxiety disorders are associated not only with increased psychological distress and functional impairment but also with biological alterations. These findings support an exploratory role of oxidative stress in the pathophysiology of anxiety disorders.
