Risk of anxiety disorders in men with prostate cancer: a national cohort study.
Article in JNCI cancer spectrum, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundMen with prostate cancer (PC) may experience significant psychosocial distress from physical symptoms, treatment side effects, or fear of recurrence. However, little is known about the long-term risk of anxiety disorders in men with PC.
methodsA national cohort study was conducted of 180 189 men diagnosed with PC during 1998-2017 and 1 801 890 age-matched population-based control men in Sweden. Anxiety disorders were ascertained from nationwide outpatient and inpatient records through 2018. Cox regression was used to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) while adjusting for sociodemographic factors and prior psychiatric disorders. Subanalyses explored differences by PC treatment during 2005-2017.
resultsIn 7.8 million person-years of follow-up, 94 387 (5%) men were diagnosed with anxiety disorders. Men with high-risk PC had a nearly 2-fold higher risk of anxiety disorders than control men without PC (adjusted HR = 1.96, 95% CI = 1.87 to 2.05). This risk was highest in the first 3 months after PC diagnosis (adjusted HR = 2.99, 95% CI = 2.49 to 3.59) but remained significantly elevated 10 or more years later (adjusted HR = 1.53, 95% CI = 1.35 to 1.74). Those treated only with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) had the highest risk of anxiety disorders (adjusted HR = 2.08, 95% CI = 1.93 to 2.25). Men with low- or intermediate-risk PC had a modestly increased risk (adjusted HR = 1.39, 95% CI = 1.34 to 1.44).
conclusionsIn this large national cohort, men with PC had substantially increased risk of anxiety disorders, especially those with high-risk PC and treated only with ADT. Men with PC need close monitoring for timely detection and treatment of anxiety symptoms, particularly shortly after PC diagnosis.
