Depression and survival of breast cancer patients: A protocol for systematic review and meta-analysis.
Article in Medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
backgroundBreast cancer is the most common malignancy in women worldwide. Compared with other malignant tumors, breast cancer patients have a higher incidence of depression and other psychiatric symptoms. The purpose of this meta-analysis was to determine the association between long-term survival and depression in patients with breast cancer.
methodsThis review will include cohort studies only. Multiple databases will be searched by 2 independent reviewers, including PubMed, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library, and PsycINFO. The language of studies should be English and Chinese, published from inception to the September 2020. Two independent reviewers will carry out literature screening, research selection and data extraction. Revman5.3 software will be used to generate funnel map, assess heterogeneity, make the subgroup analysis and complete sensitivity analysis.
resultsThis review will summarize the available evidence to determine the association between depression and survival in breast cancer patients.
conclusionThe results of this study will provide reference for the development of comprehensive treatment for breast cancer, and will promote further research. PROSPERO REGISTRATION NUMBER: CRD42020202200.
