Meta-analysis of factors influencing depression in cervical cancer patients.
Synthesis in Frontiers in public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
Background: Depression in cervical cancer (CC) patients concurrently compromises disease management and quality of life. However, significant discrepancies persist among existing studies regarding the determinants of depression in this population worldwide. To address this gap, this study employs meta-analysis to systematically identify and synthesize the contributing factors to depression among cervical cancer patients. Aim: To provide evidence-based references for mitigating depression risk among cervical cancer patients. Methods: Literature was searched in databases including CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, CBM, Web of Science, PubMed, and EMBASE from their inception until March 2025. The literature was screened, selected, quality assessed, and data extracted and analyzed. Meta-analysis was conducted using Revman 5.4 and Stata 18 software, with odds ratios (OR) and their 95% confidence intervals (CI) as the observed indicators. Results: A total of 1,108 articles were retrieved, with 15 articles ultimately included in the analysis. The results indicate that low educational attainment (OR = 3.25, 95% CI: 2.02-5.22), age ≥45 years (OR = 1.67, 95% CI: 1.09-2.55), inter-household monthly income disparity (OR = 3.06, 95% CI: 1.87-5.00), advanced tumor stage (OR = 1.99, 95% CI: 1.28-3.11), low social support (OR = 2.48, 95% CI: 1.95-3.16), moderate to severe pain (OR = 2.86, 95% CI: 1.76-4.65), limited disease awareness (OR = 2.58, 95% CI: 1.88-3.55), and undergoing hysterectomy (OR = 4.69, 95% CI: 3.03-7.24) are significant risk factors for depression in cervical cancer patients. Conclusion: The occurrence of depression in cervical cancer patients is influenced by multiple factors. Healthcare professionals and family members should conduct comprehensive assessments of patients' conditions to implement targeted prevention and intervention measures, thereby enhancing the psychological wellbeing of patients.
