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

Background: Breast cancer survivors with psychological problems have higher mortality than those without. Therefore, it is important to monitor and manage their psychological status. This study mainly aimed to dynamically estimate the prevalence of anxiety and depression and to clarify the factors associated with anxiety and depression of patients undergoing adjuvant chemotherapy. The secondary objective was to investigate the relationship between depression and anxiety and quality of life (QOL) in Chinese early-stage breast cancer patients. Methods: In a prospective observational single-center cohort study with early-stage breast cancer patients ( Results: The overall anxiety and depression prevalence rates were 35.2% and 44.1%, respectively. Age ( Conclusions: We observed dynamic changes in anxiety and depression and QOL and associated factors of anxiety and depression. These findings can provide guidance for psychological monitoring and support for breast cancer patients during the postoperative chemotherapy period.
