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
backgroundAnxiety complicates recovery in esophagectomy patients undergoing esophagectomy, while preoperative depressive symptoms may further delay surgery-associated malnutrition resolution, highlighting a critical need for psychological intervention.
aimTo explore the correlation of anxiety and depression with mindfulness levels in patients undergoing esophagectomy for esophageal cancer and analyze associated risk factors.
methodsA total of 120 patients with esophageal cancer, all of whom underwent esophagectomy in The Affiliated Yongchuan Hospital of Chongqing Medical University between September 2022 and September 2024, were enrolled. The hospital anxiety and depression scale (HADS) was utilized to evaluate the anxiety (HADS-anxiety subscale, HADS-A) and depression (HADS-depression subscale, HADS-D) levels of these patients, and the Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS) was employed to assess their mindfulness levels. The relationships among anxiety, depression, and mindfulness levels were analyzed, and both univariate and multivariate analyses were conducted to identify the risk factors for anxiety and depression in these patients.
resultsData revealed that the mean HADS-A score of patients undergoing esophagectomy was (10.43 ± 4.24) points, and 40.00%, 35.00%, and 10.83% of the patients had mild, moderate, and severe anxiety, respectively. The mean HADS-D score was (9.20 ± 4.66) points, and 37.50%, 23.33%, and 9.17% of the patients had mild, moderate, and severe depression, respectively. Patients with negative or mild anxiety (or depression) exhibited significantly higher MAAS scores than those with moderate or severe anxiety (or depression). The HADS-A and HADS-D scores showed a strong and negative correlation with the MAAS score. Univariate and multivariate analyses demonstrated that sex (
conclusionThis study indicated a significant negative correlation among anxiety, depression, and mindfulness levels in patients undergoing esophagectomy. Sex, age, per capita monthly household income, and educational level were risk factors for anxiety in patients undergoing esophagectomy, whereas age, living status, per capita monthly household income, educational level, and postoperative complications were risk factors for depression.
