Anxiety and depression during 3-year follow-up period in postoperative gastrointestinal cancer patients: prevalence, vertical change, risk factors, and prognostic value.
Article in Irish journal of medical science, 2023. 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
backgroundAnxiety and depression are common issues in gastrointestinal cancer, bringing negative impacts on patients' quality of life and long-term prognosis. This study aimed to identify the prevalence, longitudinal variation, risk factors, and prognostic value of anxiety and depression in postoperative gastrointestinal cancer patients.
methodsA total of 320 gastrointestinal cancer patients after surgical resection (210 colorectal cancer (CRC) patients and 110 gastric cancer (GC) patients) were enrolled in this study. During the 3-year follow-up period, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS)-anxiety (HADS-A) and HADS-depression (HADS-D) scores were determined at baseline, 12th month (M12), 24th month (M24), and 36th month (M36).
resultsThe prevalence of anxiety and depression at baseline was 39.7% and 33.4% in postoperative gastrointestinal cancer patients, respectively. Female (vs. male), single/divorced/widowed (vs. married), CRC (vs. GC), hypertension, higher TNM stage, neoadjuvant chemotherapy, and postoperative complications were independent risk factors of anxiety or depression in patients with gastrointestinal cancer (all P < 0.050). Furthermore, anxiety (P = 0.014) and depression (P < 0.001) were associated with shortened overall survival (OS); after further adjustment, depression was independently linked with shortened OS (P < 0.001), while anxiety was not. During the follow-up period, HADS-A score (from 7.78 ± 3.180 to 8.57 ± 2.854, P < 0.001), HADS-D score (from 7.23 ± 2.711 to 8.01 ± 2.786, P < 0.001), anxiety rate (from 39.7 to 49.2%, P = 0.019), and depression rate (from 33.4 to 42.6%, P = 0.023) were all gradually increased from baseline to M36.
conclusionAnxiety and depression gradually exacerbate and relate to poor survival in postoperative gastrointestinal cancer patients.
