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

purposeThe aims of this study were to assess depression and type D personality in parents of children with leukemia in southern China and to investigate the associations between parents' depression and type D personality, social support, coping style, and demographic characteristics.

methodsParents (n=231) of children with leukemia (study group) and parents (n=261) of children with acute respiratory/digestive infections (control group) were recruited from five hospitals in southern China. Children's clinical characteristics and parents' demographic characteristics, depression, type D personality, coping styles, and social support were collected with self-report questionnaires.

resultsParents of children with leukemia, especially mothers, reported higher levels of depression accompanied by a higher prevalence of type D personality, more negative coping styles, and less subjective social support, but received more objective social support than controls (P<0.05). The depression in parents in the study group was positively correlated with type D personality and negative coping style, but negatively correlated with social support and positive coping styles (P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analyses showed that type D personality (OR=5.64, P<0.001), lower social support (OR=2.38, P=0.020), and less positive coping (OR=3.32, P=0.003) were independently associated with depression in parents of children with leukemia. As for demographic characteristics, female, lower education level, unemployed, and paying medical expenses at one's own expenses were independent predictors of depression in parents of children with leukemia.

conclusionDepression and type D personality were remarkably prevalent in parents of children with leukemia in southern China. Type D personality and multiple social factors were associated with depression in parents of children with leukemia.
