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
backgroundThe prevalence of lower extremity arteriosclerosis obliterans (LEASO) in China is progressively increasing with the increment in age. Certain patients may be diagnosed with lower extremity arterial stenosis and occlusion that resist complete curative efforts, which will invariably impose a substantial psychological strain on them.
aimTo investigate the anxiety and depression conditions among patients with LEASO and analyze the associated risk factors.
methodsThe Affiliated Hospital of Bengbu Medical University from January 2019 to December 2022. Their demographic and clinical data were obtained through the basic information questionnaire. The social support situation was assessed with the social support rating scale, and the hospital anxiety and depression scale were used to analyze their depression and anxiety levels.
resultsThe prevalence rate of anxiety was 44.0% among the 159 patients, with a total Self-Rating Anxiety Scale score of 49.01 ± 9.65. The incidence of depression was 40.9%, and the total self-rating depression scale score reached 49.91 ± 9.18. The overall social support score for all participants averaged 24.82 ± 5.80. The correlation analysis between social support scores and anxiety and depression scores revealed that the total social support score, subjective social support, objective social support, as well as the degree of social support utilization, all exhibited a significant negative correlation with the anxiety and depression scores, which was statistically significant (
conclusionPatients with LEASO typically receive relatively scant social support. Notably, those who concurrently present with symptoms, such as pain, claudication, and gangrene, are at a substantially increased risk of developing depression and anxiety disorders. A significant negative correlation is manifested between the social support level that patients receive and the severity of their anxiety and depression symptoms. Hence, the lower the social support score, the greater the propensity for patients to experience anxiety and depressive emotions. Therefore, during clinical practice, the crucial role that social support plays in safeguarding patients' physical and mental well-being as well as facilitating the effectiveness of disease treatment needs to be particularly emphasized.
