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
purposeDiagnosis of breast cancer and its treatment dramatically affects women's psychological health. This study investigated the prevalence of depression and anxiety and their related factor in breast cancer women.
methodsWe conducted a cross-sectional study with a sample of 120 women with breast cancer in Zahedan, Iran, 2020. Data were collected using instruments included: Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), Supportive Care Needs Survey (SCNS-SF34), Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS), The adjustment to illness measurement inventory for Iranian women with breast cancer (AIMI-IBC). We analyzed the data using the ANOVA, independent sample t-test, Kruskal Wallis, Mann-Whitney U test, Pearson's and Spearman's correlation coefficients.
resultsThe prevalence of depression and anxiety in women with breast cancer was 66.6% and 60%, respectively. A significant positive correlation was found between anxiety and depression and unmet psychological needs, care/support needs, and emotional turmoil coping strategy, while reasonable efforts and avoidance coping strategies and adjusting to disease were negatively correlated with anxiety and depression. Also, linear regression results indicated unmet psychological needs, emotional turmoil coping strategy, and a high level of depression predicted a high anxiety level. A lower level of depression was indicated by reasonable efforts strategy and less level of anxiety.
conclusionsWomen with breast cancer reported a high level of depression and anxiety in Zahedan, and clinicians should pay more attention to these patients' psychological distress. Resolving the unmet need of patients, increasing social support, and using the right coping strategy have an essential role in breast cancer women's psychological distress control.
