Effect of COVID-19 pandemic on anxiety depression and intention to go to hospital in chronic patients.
Article in International journal of clinical practice, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
objectiveThe aim of this study was to investigate the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on anxiety depression and intention to go to the hospital in chronic patients.
methodsThe Bostan Intention to Go to Hospital Scale developed by one researcher (SB) as the data collection tool and the Beck Anxiety-Depression Inventories were used.
resultsOf all patients, 56.8% stated that they would go to the hospital in case of emergency and 28.3% expressed that they did not want to go to the hospital even in this case. 50% of the participants said that they did not want to go to the hospital under any circumstances during the pandemic process. As a result of the correlation analysis, there was an inverse correlation between the anxiety-depression levels and encountering COVID-19 patients and having a relative with COVID-19 (P = .001). Inverse correlation was found between intention to go to hospital and encountering COVID-19 patients (P = .001).
conclusionIt was revealed that chronic patients did not have any intentions to go to hospital during the COVID-19 pandemic and only half of the people were willing to go to the hospital in case of emergency. Anxiety and depression levels were found to increase when COVID-19 patients were encountered or a relative had COVID-19.
