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

Individuals with disabilities face practical and social challenges beyond those experienced by non-disabled individuals, which may increase vulnerability to mental health problems. However, few studies have examined biochemical correlates of psychological health in this population. This study investigated the associations of serum brain-derived neurotrophic factors (BDNF) and adiponectin with anxiety, depression, and stress among deaf adults. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 204 deaf adults aged 18-45 years. Anxiety and depression were assessed using the DASS-21 questionnaire. Body composition analyses were performed using bioelectrical impedance analysis, and serum BDNF and adiponectin levels were measured. Serum BDNF concentrations were inversely associated with anxiety (
