Prevalence of depression among cancer patients in Jordan: a national survey.
Article in Supportive care in cancer : official journal of the Multinational Association of Supportive Care in Cancer, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 3 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
goalsThe aim of this study is to investigate the prevalence of depression among cancer patients in Jordan and to study the relation between several socio-demographic, disease- and treatment-related factors, and the occurrence of depression among those cancer patients. PATIENTS AND
methodsA cross-sectional survey study was conducted at a major university hospital in Jordan. Cancer patients were interviewed for socio-demographic information and medical records were checked for information about disease and treatment of patient. Patients' psychological status was assessed using The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS).
resultsThe prevalence of depression in our sample was 51.9%. Significant correlation was detected between depression and appetite among cancer patients. Knowledge of having cancer and stage of the disease were also significantly associated with occurrence of depression.
