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 Parents are profoundly affected by a child's cancer diagnosis. The study aimed to evaluate anxiety, depression, sleep quality and physical activity of mothers of children with leukemia. MATERIAL AND METHODS The study involved 57 mothers of children with leukemia (91% lymphoblastic, 9% myeloid). The participants completed a questionnaire created for this study on basic sociodemographic data, Euro Quality of Life Questionnaire (EQ-5D), State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). RESULTS The mean raw score of the STAI (sheet X-1) was 43.91±10.44. Converted into sten (standardized 1-10 scores), the mean age of the study group was 5.45±2.03. The results of the questionnaire assessing depression symptom severity (BDI) was 14.25±9.11 in the study group, and the physical activity of the respondents, measured by the IPAQ, was 2010.82 ± 2668.03 metabolic equivalent (MET) units. Physical activity was insufficient in 36.8% of respondents, sufficient in 35.09%, and high in 26.32%. According to PSQI, 36.84% of respondents had good sleep quality and 63.16% had poor sleep quality. The analysis found strong correlations between BDI score and EQ-5D (0.72; P<0.05), BDI and daytime dysfunction (PSQI subscale) (0.65; P<0.05), BDI and EQ-5D pain/discomfort (0.61; P<0.05), and BDI and EQ-5D anxiety/depression (0.61; P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Mothers of children diagnosed with leukemia tend to have poor mental health, including decreased quality of life, increased anxiety, depressive symptoms, and poor sleep quality, regardless of physical activity level.
