Comparing AMT treatment effect on IBS severity score post-AMT and at 12 month follow-up with interaction effects of depression and anxiety with treatment on IBS severity scores in linear mixed effects analysis.

Forest plot showing the linear mixed effect analysis, predicting IBS severity by treatment, depressive and anxiety symptomatology and interaction effects between AMT at post and follow-up and mental comorbidity at both post and follow-up.
Negative regression coefficients predict reduced IBS and positive coefficients predict increased IBS severity.
