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
backgroundThe occurrence of chronic pain and disability after acute orthopedic trauma is significantly correlated with psychological factors, particularly depression and anxiety. As such, assessment of these factors is crucial for postoperative rehabilitation.
aimTo investigate the correlation between chronic pain, disability, and psychological factors (depression and anxiety) after acute orthopedic trauma surgery.
methodsData from 120 patients, who underwent surgery for acute orthopedic trauma at Xi'an Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital (Shaanxi Province, China) between June 2022 and June 2024, were retrospectively analyzed. Basic information and postoperative pain metrics [visual analog scale (VAS)], disability rating index (DRI), Hamilton anxiety rating scale (HAMA) and Hamilton depression rating scale (HAMD) were collected from electronic medical records. Pearson's correlation analysis was used to examine associations between chronic pain VAS, DRI, HAMD, and HAMA scores.
resultsAmong the 120 patients [79 (65.8%) males and 41 (34.2%) females], postoperative VAS scores were significantly associated with HAMD and HAMA scores, with correlation coefficients of 0.625 (
conclusionChronic pain and disability after surgery for acute orthopedic trauma are significantly correlated with psychological factors (depression and anxiety). Multidisciplinary teams should integrate mental health services to improve patient outcomes.
