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
Objectives: Idiopathic subglottic stenosis (iSGS) is a chronic, debilitating condition leading to significant changes in quality of life This study aims to describe the comorbidity of anxiety/depression symptoms and iSGS. Methods: Patients with iSGS were surveyed using verified measures of physical symptom severity and mental health status, including the Dyspnea Index (DI), Voice Handicap Index (VHI), General Anxiety Disorder-7 scale (GAD-7), Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSE), and Short Form-12 (SF-12). Results: Twenty-seven iSGS patients completed surveys (27/66, 40.9%). All but one were female, and the mean age was 53.8 (range 35-73). A total of 70 surgeries had been performed for treatment of iSGS, with a mean of 2.8 surgeries per person (range 0-15). Fourteen patients (51.9%) reported that iSGS impacts their ability to complete activities of daily living. Thirteen patients (48.1%) reported an impact on their ability to communicate. The mean patient-reported impact level of iSGS on anxiety/depression was 25.5/100. The mean PHQ-9 score was 5.6 in the overall cohort and 9.5 in those with diagnosed or suspected depression/anxiety. The mean GAD-7 score was 4.7 for the overall cohort and 8.3 for patients who reported a suspected or diagnosed mental health condition. DI and GAD-7 scores were mildly positively correlated ( Conclusions: This study demonstrates a small association between symptoms of anxiety, depression, and idiopathic subglottic stenosis. Providers should have a low threshold for administering mental health screening tools and making psychology referrals when needed.
