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

Introduction: To evaluate the preoperative health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and influencing factors of HRQoL in patients undergoing thyroidectomy based on patient-reported outcomes. Materials and methods: Patients who were diagnosed and treated in Sichuan Cancer Hospital from February 2022 to December 2022 and were scheduled to undergo thyroidectomy were included. Each participant completed the basic information questionnaire and patient-reported outcome assessment scales before surgery. HRQoL was assessed using the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire-C30 (EORTC QLQ-C30), the Thyroid Cancer-Specific Quality of Life (THYCA-QoL), and the Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA). The Wilcoxon rank sum test or the Kruskal-Wallis test was used to analyze the association between patient characteristics and HRQoL, and the variables with statistical significance were included in multiple linear regression analysis. Results: 450 patients were included in the study. According to the analysis of the THYCA-QoL scores, the psychological subscale was the most complained about. Anxiety was the most common symptom of the HAMA. Factors associated with worse general QoL on the EORTC QLQ-C30 included nondiagnostic/unsatisfactory fine-needle aspiration (FNA) result. Planned lateral neck dissection and nondiagnostic/unsatisfactory FNA result were influential factors for preoperative anxiety. Males and longer sleep duration were associated with better thyroid cancer-specific QoL, better general QoL, and less anxiety. Conclusion: The preoperative HRQoL of patients undergoing thyroidectomy was generally good. Females, insufficient sleep duration, planned lateral neck dissection, and nondiagnostic/unsatisfactory FNA result were associated with worse preoperative HRQoL.
