1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundpatients with locally advanced breast cancer (LABC) are often treated by neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT). This study aims to determine the prevalence of psychological distress and their sociodemographic and clinical factors in patients recently diagnosed with LABC and before NACT.

methodsA total of 209 LABC patients without metastatic localization were recruited between 2021 and 2022 in the oncology hospital at Fez. A structured questionnaire and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale were used. A descriptive analysis and linear model were performed.

resultsa mean age of participants was 47.43 ± 9.45 years. The prevalence of depression, anxiety and psychological distress among participants was 59.62% (95% CI: 52.61-33.34), 47.85% (95% CI: 40.91-54.85), and 65.07 (95% CI: 58.19-71.52) respectively. Depression was associated to age (< 50 years) (AOR = 2.19; 95% CI = 1.13-4.23) and health insurance (AOR = 3.64; 95% CI: 1.18-11.26). Anxiety was associated to age (< 50) (AOR = 2.21; 95% CI: 1.18-4.13) and right breast cancer (AOA = 2.01; 95% CI: 1.11-3.65). Psychological distress was associated to chronic illness (AOR = 2.78; 95% CI: 1.32-5.85) and lymph node status (AOR = 2.39; 95% CI: 1.26-4.57).

conclusionsBased on the high prevalence of depression and anxiety it appears opportune to treat psychological distress among LABC patient candidates for NACT. Each psychological intervention should take into account sociodemographic and clinical factors found associated in our study. Psychological therapeutic interventions are crucial for LABC patients as early as the time of diagnosis and through subsequent steps in NACT to improve their overall mental health.
