Quality of Life and Mental Health Status Among Cancer Patients With Metastatic Spinal Disease.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
This study aimed to investigate the quality of life and mental health status and further to identify relevant risk factors among advanced cancer patients with spine metastases. This study prospectively included and analyzed 103 advanced cancer patients with spine metastases. Patient's basic information, lifestyles, comorbidities, tumor characteristics, therapeutic strategies, economic conditions, quality of life, anxiety, and depression were collected. Patient's quality of life was assessed using the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-General Scale (FACT-G), and anxiety and depression were evaluated using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). Subgroup analysis was performed based on different age groups, and a multivariate analysis was performed to test the ability of 20 potential risk factors to predict quality of life, anxiety, and depression. The mean total FACT-G score was only 61.38 ± 21.26. Of all included patients, 52.43% had skeptical or identified anxiety and 53.40% suffered from skeptical or identified depression. Patients had an age of 60 or more and <70 years had the lowest FACT-G score (54.91 ± 19.22), highest HADS anxiety score (10.25 ± 4.22), and highest HADS depression score (10.13 ± 4.94). After adjusting all other potential risk factors, age was still significantly associated with quality of life (OR = 0.57, 95%CI: 0.38-0.86,
