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: The aim of this study was to investigate the association between preoperative anxiety and depression and surgical outcome in patients with Müller-Weiss disease (MWD). Methods: This retrospective study included 41 patients diagnosed with MWD who underwent talonavicular joint fusion at the Foot and Ankle Surgery Department of Xi'an Honghui Hospital between April 2014 and September 2024. Patients were stratified into two groups based on preoperative anxiety and depression symptoms: Group A (symptomatic) and Group B (asymptomatic). Preoperative and final follow-up assessments included the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for pain (0-100 mm), and American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) score. Results: Among 41 patients with complete follow-up, 20 (49%) exhibited preoperative anxiety and depression symptoms. Both groups demonstrated significant improvement in clinical outcomes following talonavicular joint fusion; however, Group A showed inferior overall outcomes compared to Group B. There is a significant negative correlation between AOFAS score improvement and preoperative anxiety levels (r = -0.62, Conclusion: In patients undergoing talonavicular fusion surgery the presence of high levels of depression and anxiety is associated with inferior post-operative outcomes; moreover the level of anxiety correlates with post-operative improvement in function, emphasizing the importance of addressing psychological factors in treatment planning.
