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
objectiveTo determine whether E.N.T inpatients have a higher prevalence of mental illness than the general population and whether certain diseases are more likely to be associated with mental illness than other diseases.
methodsThis cross-sectional survey was conducted in the E.N.T departments of three hospitals in different cities in China. The psychological status of all consecutive adult inpatients was assessed within 1-2 days following hospital admission using the Symptom Checklist-90 (SCL-90), Zung Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS) and Zung Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS). Inpatients from the general surgery and pneumology departments at the same hospital were enrolled and surveyed as control groups.
resultsThe 439 patients enrolled in the final analysis accounted for 88.0% of all E.N.T inpatients during the study period. Of these patients, 16.4% were in an anxious state and 79.5% were in a depressive state. The overall anxiety (41.7 ± 9.7) and depression (55.9 ± 29.2) scores were much higher than Chinese norm (29.8 ± 10.0 and 33.5 ± 8.6, respectively), and significant differences were observed (
conclusionPsychological distress, particularly anxiety and depression, are widespread in patients with otolaryngological diseases. Therefore, the identification and treatment of co-occurring psychiatric disorders in this high risk and clinically challenging group of patients are urgent in China.
