Incidence of anxiety and depression in children and young people with life-limiting conditions.
Article in Pediatric research, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
backgroundThe aim of this study was to investigate the incidence of anxiety and depression in children and young people with life-limiting conditions.
methodsA comparative cohort study was conducted, using primary and secondary care data from the Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD) in England. Anxiety and depression codes were identified using diagnostic, symptom and prescription codes. Incidence rates of anxiety and depression were compared across condition groups using Poisson regression, adjusting for sex, age, ethnicity, and deprivation status.
resultsA total of 25,313 children and young people were included in the study: 5527 with life-limiting conditions, 6729 with chronic conditions, and 13,057 with no long-term conditions. The incidence of anxiety (IRR
conclusionsThe higher incidence of anxiety and depression observed among children and young people with life-limiting conditions highlights the need for psychological support in this population, including further efforts to prevent, identify, and treat anxiety and depression. IMPACT: The analysis of primary and secondary healthcare data from England revealed that the incidence of anxiety and depression was higher among children and young people with life-limiting conditions, compared to those with no long-term conditions. This is the first study to investigate the incidence of anxiety and depression in children and young people with a wide range of life-limiting conditions. The higher incidence of anxiety and depression observed in children and young people with life-limiting conditions highlights the need for psychological support aiming to prevent, identify, and treat anxiety and depression in this population group.
