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
objectiveThis study aimed to explore the psychological distress and its predictors among Chinese patients with thyroid cancer during their transitional period from hospital to home.
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted in a cancer hospital in Tianjin, China. A total of three hundred patients with thyroid cancer completed the Chinese version of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network Distress Thermometer (DT), Cancer Fatigue Scale, and the Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire. Logistic regression was used to obtain the model of predictors of psychological distress among patients with thyroid cancer during the transitional period.
resultsThe DT score of 300 patients with thyroid cancer ranged from 0 to 10, and the median DT score was 2 [1-4]. The prevalence of clinically relevant psychological distress (DT score ≥ 4) in Chinese patients with thyroid cancer during their transitional period was 29.33% (88/300). The results of logistic regression analysis showed that gender (OR = 2.505, P = 0.036), fatigue (OR = 1.086, P = 0.005), and illness perception (OR = 1.137, P < 0.001) were significantly related to psychological distress in patients with thyroid cancer.
conclusionsThe psychological distress of patients with thyroid cancer during the transitional period is medium level. Patients with thyroid cancer who are female, easily fatigued, and have worse illness perceptions are more likely to experience psychological distress. Therefore, clinical attention should be paid to female patients and potential interventions aimed at improving fatigue and illness perception. It may reduce the prevalence of psychological distress during the transitional period.
