Depression and anxiety as emerging contributors to increased hospital length of stay after posterior spinal fusion in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis.
Article in North American Spine Society journal, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07737886 (Feasibility, Acceptability, and Preliminary Effects of Virtual Reality for Pain, Anxiety and Recovery Enhancement of Children Post-Scoliosis Surgical Repair), 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
background contextThe diagnosis of generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) and major depressive disorder (MDD) amongst adolescents is rising worldwide. Rates of these disorders are higher in those with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. PURPOSE: To elucidate whether or not depression and anxiety are associated with increased length of stay and total cost after posterior spinal fusion for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. STUDY DESIGN/SETTING PATIENT SAMPLE: This study utilized the Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS) to obtain a sample of OUTCOME MEASURES: Length of stay and total cost after posterior spinal fusion for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis.
methodsThe Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS) was queried for patients undergoing posterior spinal fusion (PSF) for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis with either the concomitant diagnosis of major depressive disorder or generalized anxiety disorder. Comorbidities and other confounders were controlled for using multivariate regression analysis to determine the effect of having either mood disorder on cost and length of stay (LOS) after PSF.
resultsWe determined that after controlling for confounding variables and comorbidities through multivariate regression analysis, patients with either depression or anxiety had increased odds ratios for increased LOS but not for cost.
conclusionsThe emergence of adolescent MDD and GAD may have significant implications on the inpatient stay for patients undergoing major surgery, including PSF for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis.
