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

objectivesTo evaluate the depression and anxiety status and related risk factors in patients with lumbar disc herniation, and help spine surgeons better identify those patients who need psychological care.

methodsA cross-sectional study was performed on patients with lumbar disc herniation treated in our hospital between October 2015 and August 2018. Visual analog scale and Oswestry disability index were used to assess pain intensity and lumbar function, and Zung self-rating depression and anxiety scale were employed to evaluate the depression and anxiety status of the patients, and the demographic and clinical data including age, gender, marital status, occupation type, employment status, education level, surgery history, herniation type, disease duration, and insurance status were collected for analysis.

resultsIn the current study, 165 patients were enrolled based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. In multivariate logistic regression analysis, gender (p=0.03), pain intensity (p=0.01), self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) (p=0.00), and disease duration (p=0.001) were identified as independent risk factors for depression status, and pain intensity (p=0.02), disease duration (p=0.002) and SDS (Zung self-rating depression scale) (p=0.003) were independent risk factors for anxiety status in patients with lumbar disc herniation. There was a significant correlation between Zung self-rating depression and anxiety scale in patients with lumbar disc herniation (p<0.05).

conclusionPsychological intervention is critical for patients with lumbar disc herniation, especially for those female patients with severe pain and longer disease duration.
