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
Background: Depression is a major public health problem among adult breast cancer patients. Although there are few studies on depression, data were mainly from a single center and the potential risk factors were not exhaustively addressed. Thus, we aimed to investigate the prevalence of depression and risk factors among adult breast cancer patients at two big hospitals in Addis Ababa. Objective: To assess depression and its associated factors among breast cancer patients attending public hospitals in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, in 2021. Methods: An institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted among adult patients with breast cancer attending at Tikur Anbessa Specialized Hospital and St. Paul's Hospital Millennium Medical College from June to July 2021. Simple random sampling was used to obtain a sample size of 318. Data were collected using the standard Patient Health Questionnaire-9, structured questionnaire interviews, and chart reviews. SPSS version 25 was used for analysis; the correlation between independent and dependent variables was evaluated using a logistic regression model. Each analysis regarded a Result: The mean age of the participants was 43.1 ± 11.3 years. The prevalence of depression among adult breast cancer patients was 33 (10.6%), and according to the patient health questionnaires (PHQ)-9 score categorization, 116 (37.3%) were minor, 28 (9%) were moderate, and 5 (1.6%) had moderate severity. The duration of diagnosis was <12 months and stage 2 breast cancer was more protective against depression than stage 4 breast cancer. A lower monthly income and poor social support were significantly associated with depression. Conclusion: The prevalence of depression was moderate among adult patients with breast cancer; the stage of cancer, duration of diagnosis, income, and poor social support were significantly associated with depression, emphasizing the value of counseling.
