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

objectiveHysterectomy as well as uterine cancer could be associated with a long-term risk of mental disorders. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of group cognitive-behavioral therapy (GCBT) in reducing anxiety and depression in women who have undergone hysterectomy for uterine cancer.

methodThis experimental, pretest-post-test study was conducted in an academic hospital. 26 women with uterine cancer who underwent hysterectomy were recruited and randomly divided into two equal groups as the experimental and control groups. The experimental group was treated by GCBT for eight 1-hour sessions (by a senior psychology expert) every week until 8 weeks. Otherwise, no intervention was performed for the control group. The anxiety and depression scores of all participants were assessed and compared before and after the therapy sessions by Beck Anxiety (BAI) and Beck Depression-second version (BDI-II) questionnaires.

resultsThe mean±SD age of the participants was 33.6±4.1. Our result found significant different after GCBT in both anxiety (p=0.000) and depression (p=0.000) scores in the experimental group. However, no differences between pre and post-test scores in the control group were observed. Compared to the control group the rate of depression (p=0.000) and anxiety (p=0.000) in the case group was significantly decreased after therapy.

conclusionGCBT is effective in reducing anxiety and depression in women after hysterectomy. The use of GCBT in oncology centers along with medical treatments to reduce mental distress, improve mental health, and accelerate the recovery process of patients with uterine cancer and other cancers seems necessary.
