Association between breast nodules, anxiety, depression and metabolic risk factors in a Chinese cohort.
Article in Frontiers in psychiatry, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Background: The relationship between anxiety, depression, and metabolic parameters and the incidence of breast nodules is unclear. This study aims to investigate the association between female breast nodules and anxiety, depression and metabolic factors. Methods: This cross-sectional study recruited 857 individuals with biological indicators and breast ultrasound data from the Daping hospital from April 2021 to February 2022. Serum samples were used to measure fasting blood glucose, uric acid, triglycerides, total cholesterol, urea nitrogen, alanine transaminase, aspartate transaminase, albumin, high-density lipoprotein, low-density lipoprotein. Self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) and self-rating depression scale (SDS) were used to assess the level of anxiety and depression. Result: The positive rate of breast nodules in women aged 40 to 49 years old was significantly higher than that of other age women. The proportion of participants aged 40-49 years old in the group with breast nodules was significantly higher than that in the group without breast nodules (34.6% vs. 16.9%, Conclusion: Our findings offer insight into the occurrence of depression and anxiety in the breast nodules of Chinese women. Anxiety and depression status, age and menopausal status may be the independent risk factors for the occurrence of breast nodules.
