Investigation of negative emotions and sleep quality in gastric cancer patients and intervention strategies.

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
Objective: This study investigates the prevalence of negative emotions and sleep disturbances in gastric cancer patients, explores their relationship, and suggests targeted interventions to enhance their physical and mental well-being. Methods: A total of 650 gastric cancer patients from the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University (March 2020 to March 2023) were included. Negative emotions, including anxiety and depression, were assessed using the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS), while sleep quality was evaluated using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Descriptive statistics and Pearson correlation analysis were employed to analyze the data and explore the relationship between negative emotions and sleep quality. Results: Of the 650 patients, 533 (82%) exhibited negative emotions, and 560 (86.15%) experienced sleep disturbances. A significant positive correlation was found between negative emotion scores and sleep quality (r = 0.682, Conclusion: Negative emotions and sleep disturbances are common and interrelated in gastric cancer patients. Addressing psychological factors, particularly anxiety and depression, is crucial for improving sleep quality and overall recovery. Integrated psychological and sleep management interventions should be incorporated into routine care to improve patients' quality of life and treatment outcomes.
