Effect of preoperative mental health status on spine surgery outcomes: a systematic review.
Synthesis in BMC surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundRecent data reveals an association between preoperative mental health and postoperative outcomes in spine surgery. Patients with poor mental health often experience less favorable recovery trajectories, though long-term quality of life improvements may still be achieved. Understanding this relationship is essential for optimizing surgical planning and patient care. RECENT
findingsSeveral studies have shown a clear correlation between poor preoperative mental health and poor postoperative outcomes in adult spinal deformity, spinal degenerative disease and cervical spine surgery. Furthermore, treating preoperative depression was shown to result in better outcomes in depressed patients, pointing out the importance of evaluating and treating psychiatric comorbidities before performing the surgery. To do so, the EuroQol-5D (EQ-5D) demonstrated its potential for application in identifying psychological discomfort in spine surgery patients. Preoperative mental health status plays a critical role in predicting postoperative recovery and satisfaction in spine surgery. Routine screening and treatment of psychiatric comorbidities should be incorporated into preoperative assessment to enhance surgical outcomes and overall patient well-being.
