Healthcare use and costs in adult cancer patients with anxiety and depression.
Article in Depression and anxiety, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06412341 (A Feasibility Study to Inform an RCT to Evaluate 'Accepting Your Body After Cancer', an Online-delivered, Group-based CBT Body Image Intervention, for Women Who Have Received Treatment for Breast Cancer), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
objectiveAnxiety and depression are common in individuals with cancer and may impact healthcare service use and costs in this population. This study examined the effects of anxiety alone, depression alone, and comorbid anxiety and depressive disorder on healthcare use and costs among patients with cancer.
methodThis was a retrospective cohort analysis of administrative data of patients aged 18 or older with an International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision diagnosis of cancer. Key outcomes were any visit to emergency department (ED), any inpatient hospitalization, length of hospital stays, and annual healthcare costs 1 year from cancer diagnosis.
resultsA total of 13,426 patients were included. Relative to patients with neither anxiety nor depression, those with anxiety alone, depression alone, or comorbid anxiety and depression were more likely to experience an ED visit and be hospitalized. Length of hospital stays were also longer and annual healthcare costs were significantly higher in all three clinical groups.
conclusionsCancer patients with anxiety and depression were at greater risk for ED visits and hospitalizations, experienced longer hospital stays, and accrued higher healthcare costs. Future researchers should determine whether screening and treating comorbid anxiety and depression may decrease healthcare utilization and improve turnover wellbeing among cancer patients.
