Anxiety and depression affects life and sleep quality in adults with beta-thalassemia.
Article in Indian journal of hematology & blood transfusion : an official journal of Indian Society of Hematology and Blood Transfusion, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 2 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
purposeThe aim of this study was to investigate the association of anxiety and depression symptoms with health related quality of life (HRQoL) and sleep quality in patients with beta-thalassemia.
methodsIn a cross-sectional study between 2006 and 2007, 292 thalassemic patients were assessed for symptoms of anxiety and depression (Hospital Anxiety Depression Scale; HADS), HRQoL (Short Form-36, SF-36) and quality of sleep (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index; PSQI). Linear regression models were used to determine possible predictive value of high anxiety and depressive symptoms on HRQoL and sleep quality, separately.
resultsMental and physical quality of life scores were predicted by symptoms of depression and somatic comorbidities. Total sleep quality was predicted by anxiety symptoms and somatic comorbidities.
conclusionsScreening for anxiety and depression in patients with thalassemia is essential. Further studies should test if appropriate treatment of these conditions may improve patients HRQoL and sleep quality or not.
